While much of the NFL coverage over the season's final month will focus on playoff scenarios, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy says he's just keeping his attention on the next opponent.

Dallas scored on its first four possessions and held the Eagles' offense in check in a 33-13 win Sunday night at AT&T Stadium. The defense, led by cornerback Stephon Gilmore, forced three Philadelphia fumbles and kicker Brandon Aubrey converted four field goals, including from 59 and 60 yards.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy hopes to coach in Sunday night's game against the Eagles after undergoing an appendectomy on Wednesday.

Despite coming away victorious in each game, the Cowboys have given up more passing yards in their last two games against Washington and Seattle than they have in any game this season. Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn says the defense knows it will need to limit explosive plays Sunday against the Eagles.

At 9-3 entering Sunday's game against Philadelphia, the Cowboys have a firm hold on a playoff spot in the NFC. Head coach Mike McCarthy says one of the keys has been the team's relative good health.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott says the only thing that his name being in the MVP conversation means to him is that the team is playing well.

The Dallas Cowboys recorded their first win against a team with a record better than .500 Thursday night, beating the Seattle Seahawks 41-35 at AT&T Stadium.

The Cowboys enter Thursday night's game against the Seahawks 8-3. The players say they're not bothered by the fact that critics will point out Dallas hasn't beaten a team with a winning record this season.

After Dallas lost to Philadelphia on Nov. 6, the so-called plan was for the Cowboys to win the next four games leading up to the Eagles' visit to Arlington on Dec. 10 and hope Philadelphia lost two out of three. That hasn't happened, but head coach Mike McCarthy says the Cowboys can only control their own results.
