Big Facts: Rush-ing into history with a win

4-Down Territory

The Cowboys had four drives end in a turnover on downs against Atlanta, most in a single game for Dallas since 1993. Entering the game, Dallas had only ended a drive on downs five times in the previous seven games. They're the third team to have four or more in a game this season along with Miami and Jacksonville.

Dak to the Drawing Board

Before Dak Prescott left the game last Sunday due to injury, he put together a rare stat-line that included a 75 percent completion percentage, one TD pass, no interceptions, coupled with 30 rushing yards. It was just the 12^th time in franchise history a Cowboys quarterback has accomplished that feat, and Dak has seven of them. But Sunday was the first time the Cowboys have lost a game when Dak reaches those stats.

Limited Lamb

In Week 9, CeeDee Lamb led the Cowboys with 12 targets and 8 receptions. However, he finished with just 47 receiving yards on the day. That's the fewest receiving yards by a wide receiver with at least eight receptions over the last five seasons and the smallest total of Lamb's career when having at least 12 targets and seven receptions.

Defense in no Rush

Just another example how much the Cowboys miss their pass-rushers, Micah Parsons still leads the team with 21 quarterback pressures and hasn't had once since Sept. 26. That's also the last time DeMarcus Lawrence recorded a sack, and he still leads the team with 3.0. And that game ended on an interception by Amani Oruwariye, who is the last player to record a pick for the Cowboys.

Rush in on Offense

It is expected that Dallas will have Cooper Rush starting at quarterback this week in Arlington. He enters the week with a 5-1 record when starting for Dallas. If he can secure a win against the Eagles Sunday, he'll join Roger Staubach and Dak Prescott as the only quarterbacks in Cowboys history to win six of their first seven starts.

Beasts of the East…Still?

Since the start of the 2021 season, the Cowboys have tallied a 16-3 (.842) record against the NFC East, the second-best divisional record of any NFL team over that span behind only the Chiefs (17-3). Dallas has won five straight divisional games since their last loss against Philadelphia in Week 9 last season.

Protecting Home Field

Dallas has won six straight home games against Philadelphia, dating all the way back to November 2017. It's their second-longest active home win streak behind their success against the Giants (seven straight wins). In the wins, Dallas is averaging 36.1 points per game as opposed to Philadelphia's 19.6.

Third Times the Charm

Dallas is the best team statistically in certain third down situations. They are currently 16-for-20 (80%) when facing third down and less than four yards to go, the best mark in the NFL. For comparison purposes, they were 42-for-70 (60%) in similar situations last year, good enough for 14^th in the league.

No Loss November

The Cowboys have quite the streak going in the month of November. They have not lost at home in November since 2021. Since their Thanksgiving Day defeat in overtime against the Las Vegas Raiders, they have rattled off four straight home wins over the last two seasons at AT&T Stadium in November.

Don't Throw it to Diggs

Star defensive back Trevon Diggs has seen his best production against the Philadelphia Eagles in his career. In five career games, Diggs has tallied four interceptions, his most against any opponent in his career, despite playing Washington and New York more often. He also has 15 combined tackles and 8 passes defended against Philly.
