It’s raining turnovers for the Dallas Cowboys tonight.
There was a two and a half quarter drought that left the fans thirsty for more big plays, but in the fourth quarter Xavier Woods stepped up to pick off Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz in a play that could seal the win.

Entering the game the Cowboys had just five takeaways on the season. They have three tonight including two fumble recoveries in the first quarter. This is Woods first interception of the season, a welcome sight for a player cited most often as the defensive breakout player by analysts and coaches alike.

Wentz continued to be the best player for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. He has three turnovers on the night, including a fumbled snap. This was just plays after Dak Prescott decided to have a heat check moment that resulted in an interception.

Three players later Prescott was rolling out and running into the end zone to take a 37-10 lead with nine and a half minutes to play.

Prescott has played well on the night, despite the aforementioned interception, completing nearly 78% of his passes at 8.9 yards per attempt. He’s scored through the air and on the ground. This is Prescott’s 21st rushing touchdown, breaking the team record that he previously shared with Roger Staubach.

The Cowboys have a commanding 30-10 lead with just under 12 minutes to play in the game.
