NFL: Dallas Cowboys 10 Philadelphia Eagles 33 recap and considerations

The Eagles began the game running the football so much especially outside the tackles and the Cowboys inability to stop that kind of plays cost them a TD scored by Sanchez on a read option close to the Dallas' endzone. The 2nd Eagles' offensive drive has been even better than the 1st, they started inside their 10 yards to finish in the Cowboys endzone due to a receiving TD by Jordan Matthews without any problem. Romo lead Cowboys' reaction on well balanced drive finished by the duo Bryant-Murray when Bryant beat Fletcher 1 on 1 to get closer to the endzone and gave to Murray the chance on a short yardage to score their 1st TD of the game. Cowboys' defense seemed to have understand how stop Eagles' offense and they forced Sanchez on a 3rd and long situation after forced him to fumble due to a big pressure that made the pocket collapse but he came out big after finding Maclin on an outside seems to get an huge gain, once arrived close to the Cowboys endzone they haven't been able to score their 3rd straight TD an they cameout of that rive with 3 points to icrease their lead. Dallas' defense seemed a li bit tired an Phila run a no huddle offense with good results forcing them to commit multiple penalties and this fact facilitate the work for the Eagles to reach Cowboys redzone but they haven't been able to score a TD thanks to the great goaline stand by Dallas. The Cowboys tried to cut the eficit with 1:53 left in the 1st half without TOs but they failed and lost the ball with a Beasley fumble after a reception that gifted other 3 points to the Eagles.
Dallas started the 2nd half with a bad offensive possession and they have been forced to punt, Phila got the ball but it has been the shortest possession of their game because McCoy fumbled the ball that has been recovered by the Cowboys who wasted another possession due to ba play calling and even worse execution coming out with just 3 points. LeSean McCoy simply too good for a tired Dallas defense scored another TD on a over 20 yards run out of a draw, Eagles o-line made a great job to open up the holes to let McCoy run and beat everyone on the 2nd level with his quckness. The Cowboys again lost the ball on the following drive due to a bad off balance pass made by Romo intended to Terrence Williams but picke off by Carey Williams, Phila continue his attack on the ground with very good result, they reached the Cowboys when McCoy fumbled the ball again but fortunately for the Eagles he was down by contact, by the way they kicked with success with K Parkey who has been so consistent for them all season long. Phila's defense shut the door on the Cowboys hopes when they stopped short of the 1st down Murray's run on a draw in a 4th down situation.
The Dallas Cowboys have been completely dominated on both offense and defense, The Eagles seemed to have the triple of the energy of the Cowboys and the result has been a complete blowout. Romo inaccurancy afflicted his team so much but we haveto admit that his protection hasn't been one of the best. Eagles team deeserve lot of congratulations because the improved so much on their secondary and because of that they have been able to stop a guy Like Dez Bryant even thanks to the great pressure put up by their front 7. On offense a very very accurate Sanxhez has been able to drive his offense sucessfully all game long, good game also by Maclin who gained the necessary yards that he needed to reach for the 1st time in his career the 1000 yards target in a single season but the MVP has been an unstoppable LeSean McCoy who destroed Dallas defense with his speed and agility.
