The Eagles committed four turnovers in Sunday's 37-10 loss to the Cowboys, including three by Carson Wentz (two lost fumbles and an interception). The first two _ Dallas Goedert's fumble on the Eagles' first possession, and the first of Wentz's two fumbles on the second possession _ were devastating. They gift-wrapped a 14-0 lead for the Cowboys just six minutes into the game.
Goedert's fumble not only killed a potential Eagles scoring drive but also gave the Cowboys the ball at the Philadelphia 45-yard line. It took just six plays for them to score from there.
Wentz's fumble was caused by Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who beat right tackle Lane Johnson and knocked the ball out of the quarterback's hand. It set the Cowboys up for business at the Philadelphia 14-yard line and it took just two plays for them to score from there.
Jim Schwartz's defense needs no help giving up points early. The Eagles have allowed a league-high 51 points in the first quarter and 121 in the first half. Only the Giants have given up more first-half points (129).
Wentz's other two turnovers came in the fourth quarter after the Cowboys had taken a 30-10 lead. He forced a pass to Alshon Jeffery in the middle of the field that was picked off by safety Xavier Woods, then fumbled a shotgun snap on the Eagles' next possession.
