Turkey Day Battle

One of the NFL's biggest rivalries... Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys ! Thanksgiving day....what better way to celebrate than with a great game while you eat. We would get the ball first and open up with a smooth drive all the way to the redzone. A little fake to McCoy and Sanchez keeps it for a 2 yard TD run for the first points of the game. Defense on the field with a big task trying to handle Dez Bryant and NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray. D held the Cowboys to an 11 play drive that lead to a punt. Back on Offense we continue to drive down the field. Then Sanchez finds rookie Jordan Matthews for a 27 yard TD pass. 1st quarter looking good as we lead 14-0. You can't get too hype besucase the Cowboys are a strong team, they drove down the field and Murray got up the middle for a 1 yard TD. The offensive drive continues as we move down the filed again but this time a TD pass was broken up by Barry Church and Parkey came on the field for a 31 yard FG. The rest of the 2nd quarter would slow down with constant stops and good defense. We did manage to pull out 2 FG from Parkey to put us up 23-7 at half. 2nd half would open up with back and fourth stops but the Cowboys would get a FG out of the process. After that FG by the Cowboys our offense would get back on track and Shady McCoy would get busy down the field for a 38 yard TD run. The start of the 4th quarter we would drive one more time but couldn't convert the TD so Parkey came on the field to put up the 25 yard FG. That would be the last points of the game as the defense would hold the Cowboys to 10 points in a great Eagles win!

*Side Notes*

That win put us on top of the NFC East by 1 game at 9-3 and the Cowboys now 8-4. We have the defending champs Seahawks next week.
