Rank’Em: Here’s 12 Players Who Shined vs. Philly
The Cowboys had plenty of heroes Sunday, led by their frontline players. But we ranked the Top 12 guys who stood out the most Sunday night vs. Philadelphia.

12 – Jaylon Smith – He made the first big play of the night, forcing the fumble on the Eagles' initial offensive series. He did have a costly penalty that extended Philly's third drive and led to a touchdown. Overall, he was flying around the ball and had seven tackles to tie for the team lead.

11 - Jourdan Lewis – He clearly needs to play more. When he's on the field, Lewis finds a way to make a play. Last week it was a pick against the Jets, and this week he got his first career sack blitzing Carson Wentz off the edge.

10- Jason Witten – His stat line read just four catches for 33 yards, but they were all clutch grabs that led to points. His first catch over the middle was a third-down conversion that led to Jarwin's TD. Before the half, Witten had three catches in less than 20 seconds that led to Maher's 63-yard field goal.

9 – La'el Collins – For a guy that wasn't even supposed to play earlier in the week and was a game-time decision on Sunday, Collins had a standout performance, especially facing the Eagles' steady pass rush. Collins held up fine, allowing Dak to have plenty of time to lead the offense to over 400 yards. Still, Collins needs the bye week as much as anyone.

8 – Byron Jones – Here's another guy needing the bye week. Jones missed parts of practice this week with a hamstring injury but managed to get himself ready to play. Not only that, Jones didn't allow the Eagles' passing game to have a big night, locking up his side of the field for most of the game.

7 – Kerry Hyder – He might not have filled up the stat sheet, but his presence was felt, especially in the second half when Robert Quinn was out of the game. Hyder had a big hit on the quarterback and also recovered a fumble. He even played some on special teams with Dorance Armstrong out.

6 – Maliek Collins – From the start of the game, Collins was very active across the line of scrimmage. The Eagles only ran for 115 yards, and most of that was in the second half. Collins helped control the line of scrimmage, leading all defensive linemen with five tackles.

5 – Amari Cooper – What a difference a week makes for Cooper, who only played a handful of snaps in the first half last week against the Jets, but was able to come back and make a big difference both in the passing game and running game. His presence on the field has to help create running lanes for Zeke. Cooper also caught five balls for 106 yards, including some acrobatic sideline grabs that continues to prove why the Cowboys are excited to have him as their long-term No. 1 receiver.

4 – Brett Maher – Just put him out there from 60 and it's money. Maher became the first player in NFL history to have three made field goals over 60 yards, including a franchise-best 63-yarder. He also made two other field goals, all four extra points and had five touchbacks on kickoffs.

3 – Dak Prescott – Had it not been for a late interception, he might've been No. 1 on the list. Prescott was smart with the football on most other plays, only throwing six incomplete passes. Dak finished the game with a 100.5 passer rating and also ran the ball for 30 yards and a touchdown to break Roger Staubach's record of 20 rushing scores by a Cowboys quarterback.

2 – DeMarcus Lawrence – He voiced his opinion on Friday about Doug Pederson's comments on the Eagles coming down to get a win. And it took a few minutes into the game for D-Law to back it up. His sack and forced fumble put the Cowboys in front by 14 points and the team and defense never looked back.

1 – Ezekiel Elliott – He's had better statistical game than his 111 yards rushing with a touchdown and a 36 receiving yards, but Zeke had one of his best games of his career in the way he ran, blocked, caught the ball and anything else the Cowboys wanted him to do. He was a tough, bruiser back that also showed some quickness and elusiveness that proved why he's one of the NFL's best offensive players.
