NFL Week 14 highlights: Cowboys run over Eagles; Niners, Bills win

Updated Dec. 10, 2023 11:37 p.m. ET

Week 14 of the NFL season continues with an action-packed 12-game slate Sunday, and we have you covered with all the action around the league from start to finish!

Seven games kicked the day off as the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Los Angeles Rams in an exciting overtime finish. Meanwhile, C.J. Stroud, the Texans' sensational rookie quarterback, left the game against New York in concussion protocol after his head forcefully hit the turf.

The afternoon slate was headlined by Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers — which checked in at No. 1 in our latest NFL power rankings and atop this week's installment of "Herd Hierarchy" — taking down the Seattle Seahawks on FOX for their fifth consecutive win.

In the Vikings' afternoon matchup against the Raiders, star receiver Justin Jefferson was ruled out with a chest injury and transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was also ruled out in the loss against the Broncos with a finger injury.

Closing things out on Sunday Night Football, superstar edge rusher Micah Parsons — the current favorite to win DPOY — and the Cowboys defense dominated the Eagles as it forced three turnovers in a statement win AT&T Stadium on Sunday Night Football.

Here are the highlights!

Dallas Cowboys 33, Philadelphia Eagles 13

Boys on the board!

The Cowboys have won 14 in a row at AT&T Stadium, and they looked determined to collect a 15th as they got busy quickly to take a 7-0 edge on their first drive. Dak Prescott bought some time in the pocket after it collapsed, before finding CeeDee Lamb on the run for a quick score.

Ripped loose!

The Eagles looked solid to start, as Jalen Hurts & Co. got into plus territory in a hurry. But Donovan Wilson wasn't about to let them even the tally so quickly, and he forced Hurts to cough up the pigskin as he took him down for a tackle, returning the ball to Dallas' offense.

It's a fake!

The Cowboys thought they had forced another punt after Brandon Aubrey gave them a 10-0 lead on a 60-yard field goal, but Philly broke out a sneaky fake punt pass, converting the first down and buying a FG of its own early in the second quarter.

Lean on the run

Dallas went up 17-3 on a 12-play, 75-yard drive that was heavily predicated on the rush. Rico Dowdle closed out the emphatic drive with a strong plunge up the middle.

Yeah, here we go!

The Cowboys made a statement in the first half, as they closed it out with another TD, which was aided by a 25-yard double penalty on Kelee Ringo. Prescott found a wide-open Michael Gallup on a slant to take a 24-6 lead just before the half.

More of the same

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni told NBC's Melissa Stark "if we score on this first drive, it's a brand new ball game." The Eagles did not accomplish that mission, as Stephon Gilmore stripped A.J. Brown for a big turnover to start the second half.

It's a ballgame

Fletcher Cox has been making big plays for over a decade, and he couldn't have come up in a bigger spot for Philly, as he forced a fumble that made way for a Jalen Carter scoop-and-score. Jake Elliott's extra point brought the Eagles within 11, 24-13.

Lock it down

After Aubrey gave the Cowboys a two-score lead on a 59-yarder, Gilmore stifled the Eagles yet again as he came up with a drive-halting tackle on DeVonta Smith to force another Eagles turnover.

Three's company

Dallas collected its third turnover of the game as Markquese Bell rallied to the ball to pry it loose from Smith's grasp.

Look at him go!

The 49ers wasted no time in responding to Parkinson's TD, as Purdy connected with George Kittle for another San Francisco score.
