The Philadelphia Eagles soared back to the top of the NFC East, crushing the Dallas Cowboys 41-7 to claim their second division title in three years.
The Eagles were dominant despite starting backup quarterback Kenny Pickett, who filled in for the concussed Jalen Hurts.
Pickett made the most of his opportunity, completing 10 of 15 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown before a rib injury forced him to exit in the third quarter.
Tanner McKee stepped up seamlessly, connecting on three of four passes for 54 yards and adding two touchdowns to seal the commanding win.

At 13-3, Philadelphia has secured both the division crown and at least one home playoff game.
Their final seeding remains in flux – they still have a shot at the No. 1 seed, though it’s not entirely in their hands.
If either the Minnesota Vikings top the Green Bay Packers on Sunday or the Detroit Lions beat the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, the Eagles will lock into the No. 2 seed. Should that scenario play out, Philadelphia might opt to rest their starters in next week’s season finale against the New York Giants.
