The Cowboys finished with 18 unanswered points.
Brandon Aubrey's 24-yard field goal increased the margin to ten points before Williams added a two-yard touchdown run.

Saquon Barkley scored the Eagles' first touchdown on an eight-yard run, and Dameon Pierce later reached the end zone from five yards. Barkley finished with 62 yards on seven carries. Yahoo Sports' live reporting described his return after a hamstring injury, with left guard Landon Dickerson also back for Philadelphia.
