Although Philadelphia quarterback Ron Jaworski completed only 9 of 29 passes for 91 yards
and was intercepted twice, running back Wilbert Montgomery led the Eagles
to a victory by rushing for 194 yards and a touchdown.
Montgomery scored on Philadelphia's first drive of the game with a 42-yard rushing touchdown,
but the Cowboys tied the game in the second quarter
with running back Tony Dorsett's 3-yard touchdown.
But from that point on, Dallas never posed a threat again.
In the third quarter, a fumble recovery by Eagles defensive end Dennis Harrison
on the Dallas 11-yard set up kicker Tony Franklin's 26-yard field goal.
Then on the Cowboys next drive, Philadelphia linebacker Jerry Robinson
picked up Dorsett's fumble and returned it 22 yards to the Dallas 38-yard line.
Six plays later, running back Leroy Harris scored a 9-yard touchdown
to give the Eagles a 17-7 lead.
Franklin later added another field goal to close out the scoring.
Philadelphia Eagles 20, Dallas Cowboys 7
