Both franchises enter the week at 2-4 after disappointing starts to the year, but the division remains wide open as the New York Giants lead with a 3-2-1 record.
The Cowboys are coming off a disappointing Sunday night loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. After struggling on defense for most of the season, Dallas couldn't get their offense going , stuck at just seven points before scoring a touchdown in garbage time with just 0:44 on the clock.
The Eagles, meanwhile, had their season turned upside down last week after quarterback Jalen Hurts was placed on injured reserve as he undergoes treatment for deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in his lungs. Now, it's up to quarterback Tanner McKee to save the season. He threw for 215 yards and one touchdown in his third career start last week.
Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more as the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles close out Week 7 on "Monday Night Football," airing on ABC and ESPN.
Javonte Williams capped that drive off with a 2-yard score, and the Cowboys are up by 17 now with 2:21 left.
They did not make a move. A huge sack and a stop on fourth down has forced an Eagles turnover almost immediately.
The Cowboys will take over in great field position now, and can officially seal this game.
Well, maybe not. The Eagles forced a three-and-out, so they'll get the ball back after a punt here.
The Cowboys still lead by 10 with about six minutes to go. If Philadelphia is going to make a move, it has to be now, and fast.
The Dallas defense (yes, you read that right) may have just sealed this game.
DeMarvion Overshown expertly jumped in front of a ball intended for Dallas Goedert and came up with the interception, just their second of the season.
The Cowboys will now take over with about 7:30 left and a 10-point lead.
After making it down into the red zone, Brandon Aubrey drilled a 24-yard chip-shot field goal. The Cowboys now lead by 10 with about nine minutes left in this one.
Saquon Barkley has clearly been struggling to manage this hamstring injury, going in and out of the medical tent and rotating through the lineup with Dameon Pierce.
After a decent break, Barkley came back into the lineup on the final drive of the third quarter and broke off a nice run, but an offensive holding penalty sent it right back … and Barkley promptly took a seat back on the bench.
This Eagles defense has absolutely nothing for the Dallas attack.
The Cowboys marched 61 yards on eight plays for a touchdown drive capped by CeeDee Lamb's second score of the night. Prescott found Lamb in the back of the end zone for a 16-yard score, then ran in a two-point conversion to extend the Dallas lead to 28-21.
Eagles fans are booing the abysmal effort from the high-priced defense.
The Eagles started the second half with a 17-play, 84-yard touchdown drive to take a 21-20 lead. The drive took 9:16 off the game clock and suddenly shortened this game.
Tanner McKee paid the drive off with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Makai Lemon on third down. The touchdown for Lemon is the first of the first-round rookie's career.
Saquon Barkley continues to be in and out of the ball game. He gained 12 yards on the first carry of the third quarter, but is back on the bench again in favor of Dameon Pierce.
The Eagles have the ball and a chance to take the lead to start the third quarter despite allowing Dallas run roughshod on offense in the first half.
An action-packed first half has the Cowboys holding a 20-14 lead at the break after getting almost whatever it wanted against a porous Eagles defense. Dallas even has its normally tepid run game going.

The Cowboys capitalized on their late scoring chance with a field goal before halftime after forcing an Eagles punt. But they could have had more.
Dak Prescott underthrew a wide open CeeDee Lamb on what could have been a deep touchdown pass. Lamb adjusted for a 30-yard catch before tumbling out of bounds.
Brian Schottenheimer, meanwhile, took a timeout into halftime, and the Cowboys settled for a third-down field goal with 3 seconds remaining on the first-half game clock.
Dallas takes a 20-14 lead into the break, but could have had more.
Eagles CB Quinyon Mitchell is out of the game to end the half after getting shaken up at the end of a play.
He was down on the field for a moment, but was able to walk to the sideline on his own.
Disaster for the Eagles. They burned just 15 seconds off the clock on three plays and have punted back to the Cowboys.
The Cowboys will have another chance to score with a 17-14 lead and 1:14 remaining before halftime. They'll start at their own 13.
Dallas couldn't do anything pinned against its own goal line and punted after a 3-and-out.
A nice pass breakup by Quinyon Mitchell on second down helped stall the drive, and the Eagles have the ball back near midfield with 1:39 remaining.
The Cowboys forced the first punt of the game with a third-and-10 stop near midfield. Joey Porter Jr. secured the pass breakup to force fourth down.
The Cowboys have the ball back with a 17-14 lead and 2:28 remaining before halftime. But they've got a long way to go after the Eagles downed the punt next to the goal line.
That's now five scores on five possessions.
Dak Prescott found George Pickens in the back of the end zone, and Pickens secured the score with a nice grab in coverage, just getting his second foot down along the sideline.
The 21-yard highlight catch has Dallas back on top, 17-14 with 5:37 remaining before halftime.
Tyler Goodson returned a kickoff 91 yards for a would-be Cowboys touchdown, but a holding penalty at the Dallas 29 on Justin Barron meant first-and-10 at the Dallas 19 instead.
It was an easy call. Barron got his hand inside an opponent's shoulder pads as Goodson broke through. Goodson may or may not have been able to break free without a hold.
Cowboys defensive lineman LT Overton hit Tanner McKee in the facemask on a third-and-7 incompletion in the red zone, giving the Eagles a first down at the 5-yard line.
Dameon Pierce ran it in on the next play for a 5-yard touchdown and a 14-10 Eagles lead. That's four scores on four possessions as neither team has punted yet.
