The former Alabama standout finished 15-for-25 with 155 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Sanders led the way on the ground with 71 yards on 18 carries.

Rush was handed the first loss of his career. He started with five consecutive wins in his first five starts before Sunday night’s game. Dak Prescott is still on the mend after injuring his finger in the first game of the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Rush finished 18-for-38 with 181 passing yards, a touchdown pass and three interceptions. C.J. Gardner-Johnson had two picks and Darius Slay had the other.

Elliott had 13 carries for 81 yards. CeeDee Lamb had five catches for 68 yards in the win. Ferguson finished with four catches for 40 yards.

Philadelphia is off to its best start since the 2017 season when they went 10-1 to start the year. The team was 1-1 in their first two games but rattled off nine victories in a row. That year, the team ended up defeating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII for their first championship. They are the third Eagles team to start the season 6-0.

The Eagles enter their bye week undefeated and have the Pittsburgh Steelers in town when they return for Week 8. Dallas dropped to 4-2 on the year. The team returns home to host the Detroit Lions next week.
