Eagles have made the first-half grade, but now they graduate to a different level of competition

The Eagles beat the depleted Dallas Cowboys Sunday to finish the first half of the season 7-2. Up next is a battle for first place against the Washington Commanders.

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Eagles believe they have that thing that’s difficult to define and impossible to miss. They’re convinced that they have rediscovered the chemistry that was so essential when they marched to the Super Bowl two seasons ago and then mysteriously disappeared down the stretch last season. “We had chemistry when we were 2-2,” running back Saquon Barkley said Sunday after the Eagles won their fifth straight by beating the reeling Dallas Cowboys, 34-7, at AT&T Stadium.

“Just stuff happened. Banged up. We weren’t playing our best ball.

We were learning a new system. All the excuses we could have in the world, but we weren’t going to make them. You’ve got to find your groove.
