Story
Dallas beat Philadelphia 38–21 on Sunday night, and the official postgame record puts the deciding feature in plain view: the Cowboys controlled the game on the ground and kept producing points.
Dallas’ official recap lists 204 rushing yards on 38 carries. Javonte Williams accounted for 155 of those yards on 25 attempts, a career high according to the club. The Cowboys also scored on seven of nine possessions and finished with 416 total yards.
Those are the reported facts. They explain why this result separated from a one-score finish before an analyst has to assign a larger meaning to it.
Dak Prescott completed the night with 212 passing yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, according to Dallas’ recap. The club also reported a 118.1 passer rating. Philadelphia’s official game center confirms the 38–21 final.

FOURTHWIRE ANALYSIS
The takeaway is not that a single final score predicts the next month. It is that Dallas had multiple ways to hold control: a run game that made its volume count, a passing game that avoided a turnover and a scoring sequence that did not give Philadelphia enough empty possessions to recover.
The 204-yard rushing figure is especially useful because it speaks to game shape. Dallas did not need every drive to become a high-risk passing exchange. Its offense stayed on schedule often enough to turn possession after possession into pressure for Philadelphia.
That is an analytical read, not a forecast. The next game’s official injury report, opponent and usage split matter before treating this as a durable template.
