Studs and duds from Eagles' 38-21 loss to Cowboys in Week 7

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their fifth straight loss Monday night, falling 38-21 to Dallas after giving up 416 total yards. Despite the disappointing outcome, several players provided encouraging performances. Others struggled in critical moments as Philadelphia dropped to 2-5. Stud: Makai Lemon, WR The rookie delivered seven catches for 67 yards and his first career touchdown, establishing himself as the Eagles ' leading receiver against Dallas. His chemistry with Tanner McKee provided one of the few positive storylines. Stud: Saquon Barkley, RB Barkley battled through physical discomfort and rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. His 8.9 yards per attempt demonstrated how valuable he remains to Philadelphia's offense. Stud: Dallas Goedert, TE Goedert caught five passes for 48 yards, providing McKee with another reliable receiving option. His ability to find openings underneath helped Philadelphia sustain drives. Dud: Riq Woolen, CB Woolen endured a difficult evening against Dallas' receivers. He was penalized for holding and surrendered a 16-yard touchdown to CeeDee Lamb during a pivotal third-quarter drive. Although Woolen finished with two passes defended, his coverage struggles were costly. Dud: Eagles defensive front Philadelphia's defensive line failed to register a sack, tackle for loss, or quarterback hit. Dallas rushed for 204 yards, repeatedly creating running lanes and keeping the Eagles from disrupting the run. Dud: Eagles pass protection Tanner McKee faced pressure at important moments, with Quinnen Williams and Donovan Ezeiruaku creating problems. Philadelphia's protection struggled to maintain consistency as the Cowboys pulled away. Dud: Fourth-quarter offense The Eagles scored on their opening second-half possession but were shut out in the fourth quarter. McKee's interception and a failed fourth-down opportunity eliminated any realistic chance of a comeback. Philadelphia had enough individual production to stay competitive, but defensive failures and late offensive mistakes proved too much to overcome.
