Eagles Clinch NFC East Title with Dominant Win

The Philadelphia Eagles secured a decisive 41-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, clinching their second NFC East title in three seasons. With starting quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined due to a concussion, Kenny Pickett led the Eagles, throwing for a touchdown before leaving with a rib injury; Tanner McKee closed the game effectively, adding two touchdown passes. Saquon Barkley made history, becoming the ninth player in NFL history to reach 2,000 rushing yards in a single season, while DeVonta Smith stood out with 120 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The Eagles' defense was formidable, forcing four turnovers, including a 69-yard pick-six by C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who also recorded another interception. Cooper Rush struggled for the Cowboys, who were unable to capitalize on their offensive opportunities, leading to three turnovers that directly resulted in 17 points for Philadelphia. This win improved the Eagles' record to 13-3, guaranteeing them at least one home playoff game.
