Philadelphia Eagles WATCH: Jalen Hurts Breaks Franchise Record For QB Rushing TDs vs. Dallas Cowboys

After the Dallas Cowboys took a 14-7 lead, kicker Brandon Aubrey sent the ensuing kickoff out of bounds, allowing the Philadelphia Eagles to open their third offensive drive in great field position at their own 40-yard line. 

The Eagles took advantage of the mistake by Dallas' rookie kicker, ultimately scoring the game-tying touchdown. 

Just a few plays after running back D'Andre Swift recovering his own fumble, quarterback Jalen Hurts kept the ball and the Eagles used their signature "Brotherly Shove" play to record a one-yard touchdown. Kicker Jake Elliott added the extra point, tying the game at 14.

Hurts now owns the franchise record among quarterbacks with 33 rushing touchdowns, despite playing for an Eagles team that has previously employed Randall Cunningham, Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick. 

Whether the controversial "Tush Push" play will remain legal beyond the 2023 season or not is unclear, but for now, it's permitted, and Philadelphia runs it better than anyone else. 

Dallas entered this Week 9 matchup with 5-2 record, likely needing to sweep their two remaining matchups with the Eagles to have a chance to win the NFC East, and potentially be the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC. It can be argued that no team in the NFC would benefit more from being the top seed, getting a first-round bye and having the playoffs go through their home stadium than the Cowboys. 

Meanwhile, the 7-1 Eagles have a chance to essentially take a four-game lead over their NFC East rivals with a victory Sunday. Philadelphia is looking to earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the second consecutive season, as they hope to return to the sport's highest stage and avenge their 38-35 Super Bowl LVII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
