Cowboys leading confused Eagles 14-0 after 1st

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - The Cowboys cashed in early on an Eagles special teams mistake as they dominate the first quarter 14-0 Sunday night.

Dallas outgained Philadelphia 127-0 in the first period.

Murray and Dez Bryant snagged a touchdown each as the Cowboys, undefeated on the road this season, held the ball for 12 minutes to the Eagles 3. 

DeMarco Murray has 37 yards rushing on 10 attempts.

Dallas took possession of the football straight away after recovering the opening kickoff. Josh Huff was set to receive for the Eagles, but the kick was short and Chris Polk, the upback, did not see the live ball as it bounced free behind him.

Cowboys safety C.J Spillman did, recovering at the Eagles 18 to put the Cowboys in the red area within striking distance.

Tony Romo found Terrance Williams on a slant toss for an 8 yard gain to the Eagles 6 and the 1st-and-Goal.

DeMarco Murray rushed to the 1, and through the middle behind the fullback into the end zone on the next snap.

Romo is 7-of-12 for 74 yards and a touchdown.

Philadelphia (9-4) would dribble to a quick three-and-out on their next chance, a 3 play, -2 yard drive, setting up what would be the Cowboys' second scoring possession.

Tony Romo would lead Dallas (9-4) over 88 yards in 16 plays over eight minutes, the longest drive executed against the Eagles this season, including three 3rd-down conversions to Jason Witten.

His 21 yard gainer over center field killed a 3rd-and-7, and his 17 yard catch-and-run put the visitors into Eagles territory. A 3rd-and-3 put the tight end on the Eagles 14. 

Romo slung to Cole Beasley at the 6-yard-line, though DeMarco Murray would be stuffed behind the line when Fletcher Cox powered through rookie guard Zack Martin for the tackle, and Romo's pass on 2nd-and-Goal was thrown into the audience.

Though officials threw a very late flag against Cary Williams for illegal contact against Dez Bryant when he pushed the receiver through the back of the end zone, giving the Cowboys another 1st-and-Goal.

Murray carried to the Eagles 3 before Bryant hauled in the 14-0 advantage.

Bryant did not receive a touchdown the last time the two sides met, finishing with 73 yards on 4 receptions. 

Philadelphia defeated the Cowboys 33-10 in their last meeting, on Thanksgiving, though fell 24-14 in an uninspired game against Seattle at home. Dallas defeated the Bears on a Thursday night before Sunday's game.
