Trey Lance replaced Cooper Rush at quarterback for the Cowboys in the third quarter of a loss.

The third overall pick of the 2021 draft initially entered the game with 2:56 left in the third quarter with the Cowboys trailing the Eagles 28-6. He received a huge ovation from the Cowboys fans who remained.

Lance had a four-yard run and then passed the ball to Rico Dowdle on a two-yard gain that was negated by a holding penalty on center Cooper Beebe.

For some reason, the Cowboys sent Rush back into the game for the final two games of the series. Rush lost a fumble on a Bryce Huff sack that was recovered by Zack Baun after right tackle Terence Steele tried to pick up the fumble and run with it.

The Eagles got a 39-yard field goal from Jake Elliott.

Lance then returned for the next series and ran five plays before Jake Ferguson fumbled on a hit by Baun, with Reed Blankenship returning the fumble 16 yards to the Dallas 29. The Eagles added another Elliott field goal for a lead of 34 -6.

Lance then threw an interception to C.J. Gardner-Johnson on the next series.

The Cowboys have five turnovers, lose four fumbles and throw an interception.

Lance is 3-of-4 for 17 yards and an interception after Rush went 13-of-23 for 45 yards.
