Javonte Williams carried 25 times for a career-high 155 yards and sealed it with a fourth quarter touchdown as Dallas rolled to a 38-21 road win.\n\nWilliams had been stuck at 23 carries total across Weeks 5 and 6 during back-to-back Cowboys losses, but the shift toward feeding him paid off immediately. Tyler Goodson chipped in with 11 carries of his own, giving Dallas an offensive balance that had been missing. Through the air, Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes, connecting with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and the Cowboys closed out the win by scoring late.\n\nThe result drops Philadelphia to 2-5 on the season, a rough stretch for a team that was expected to contend. For Dallas, it is a reminder that leaning on the ground game can take pressure off Prescott and open things up through the air. Williams said it was good to give the coaching staff confidence to keep calling his number, and after a performance like this, there is little reason for that to change.","published_at":"2026-10-27T22:20:29.055403+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Javonte Williams: Good to give confidence to keep calling runs","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/javonte-williams-good-confidence-keep-104945696.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Javonte Williams: Good to give confidence to keep calling runs","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/javonte-williams-good-to-give-confidence-to-keep-calling-runs"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Cowboys handle Eagles on Javonte Williams' career night","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50292494/cowboys-eagles-mnf-javonte-williams-career-night"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Cowboys handle Eagles behind Javonte Williams’ career-high 155 rushing yards","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7728447/2026/10/26/cowboys-eagles-nfl-week-7-monday-night-football-takeaways/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Monday Night Football: Cowboys lead Eagles 20-14 at halftime","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/monday-night-football-cowboys-lead-eagles-20-14-at-halftime"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Monday Night Football: Cowboys lead Eagles 20-14 at halftime","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/monday-night-football-cowboys-lead-015530491.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"WATCH: Javonte Williams caps career night with TD in fourth quarter","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/watch-javonte-williams-caps-career-031800946.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles' Defense Struggles in Blowout Loss to Cowboys","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-defense-struggles-blowout-loss-054137088.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cowboys’ Javonte Williams hits rushing milestone not seen in Dallas since Ezekiel Elliott","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cowboys-javonte-williams-hits-rushing-061712766.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Javonte Williams' patience pays off with career-best performance in Cowboys' win vs. Eagles","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/javonte-williams-patience-pays-off-061909428.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cowboys' run game resurrected; defense shows signs of life in Week 7 win","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cowboys-run-game-resurrected-defense-100741351.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cowboys news: Javonte Williams runs team back into NFC East race","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cowboys-news-javonte-williams-runs-110000323.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"10 thoughts on the Cowboys win over the Eagles","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/10-thoughts-cowboys-win-over-130000969.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cowboys had that run-first look in beating the Eagles, and owner Jerry Jones liked what he saw","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cowboys-had-run-first-look-180409880.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/6ced688/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F516%2F987%2Fnbc_pftpm_troyaikman_261024.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
