The Dallas Cowboys may not be mathematically eliminated from NFL playoff contention, but with a 4-5-1 record, they came into Sunday's game against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles facing a virtual must-win situation.

They were coming off a 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in which quarterback Dak Prescott had an outstanding performance with four touchdown passes and completed 25 of 33 pass attempts. But they didn't do much in that contest to convince anyone they were on the verge of turning things around.

On Sunday, Dallas gave up the first 21 points of the game. But even though Prescott wasn't on top of his game, he did manage to notch a massive accomplishment when he surpassed Tony Romo for the most passing yards in Cowboys history.
