Philadelphia Eagles face the 1 point favorite Dallas Cowboys in week 10

On their first drive of the game the Eagles are the first to score and take the early lead of 7 to 0 against the Dallas Cowboys. Philadelphia really needed to score on their first drive since it is the first time this season they have been able to do that. Could this be the thing that gives them the momentum for the game? The next few possessions will be the determining factor.

Dallas gets to mid field fairly quickly on their first drive. They push and shove their way into the red zone and get a first down inside the 10. The Cowboys get the touchdown with just over 2 minutes left in the first quarter so we have a tied game with each side trading touchdowns on their first possessions.

The Eagles have played a good game offensively so far but a missed catch on 3rd down on the latest possession forces them to punt the ball giving the Cowboys a shot at taking the lead on their next drive. The Eagles defense stops them and forces a 3 and out keeping the game tied.

What was looking like another good drive by the Eagles was closed down near mid field and they punt the ball. The last few possessions have been played and controlled by the defenses on both sides and Dallas punts the football.

Time for the Eagles to take back over but this drive will be run by rookie Nick Foles due to a hit that Michael Vick took on the Cowboys last drive where his helmet came off and hit him in the eye. This is Foles very first regular season game in the league. He is unable to do much with the drive and the Cowboys will get the ball back again with the score still tied at 7 each.

A nice sideline pass to Dez Bryant and Dallas gets a first down. Also it has just been announced that Michael Vick does have a concussion so he will not be coming back in today’s game. Dallas is forced to take a field goal giving them their first lead in the game and the score is 10 to 7.

The Dallas defense had good penetration and managed to hurry Foles although he did manage to get one decent reception that was called back due to a holding call on the offense. They break up the 3rd down conversion and the Eagles have to punt.

A good run by Felix Jones and Dallas in just inside Eagle territory as we hit the 2 minute warning in the half. Under heavy pressure Tony Romo, quarterback for the Cowboys is unable to convert on 3rd down they punt the ball giving Philadelphia the ball with 45 secinds left in the half.

They do not do anything on the drive but do kick the ball back to Dallas with 9 seconds left, but out of time outs they do not make anything happen on the return and then take a knee to end the first half. Half time score is Dallas 10 to Philadelphia 7.
