WATCH: Eagles beat Cowboys … and Howie Roseman goes nuts

Some general managers stay in the suite and high-five the ower when their NFL team wins. And sometimes, when Chris Christie is around when the Dallas Cowboys win, there’s a group hug.

But this isn’t those times.

On Sunday, the Eagles beat the Cowboys, 28-23, in an NFC East thriller that reinforced Philly’s dominance: The first-place Eagles, the only NFL team at 8-1, are now 2.5 games ahead of the Cowboys in the divisional race. The Cowboys will get a shot at revenge on Dec. 10 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

But back to Roseman. He watched the final plays from the sideline at Lincoln Financial Field, and when Cowboys wide receiver Cee Dee Lamb was stopped near the 5-yard line on the game’s final play — and fumbled it to the Eagles, though it was meaningless at that point — Roseman ran off the field, jumping and pumping his fist all the way into the tunnel.

Still, there were nervous moments for Roseman: The Eagles did all they could on Dallas’ final drive to cough up the game. Quarterback Dak Prescott needed to move the Cowboys 86 yards in 46 seconds for the potential winning score — and was awarded 56 yards of Eagles’ penalties to reach the 6-yard-line.

On the cusp of a stunning comeback, Prescott was sacked by Josh Sweat for an 11-yard loss.

After a penalty on the Cowboys (5-3) moved them to the 27, Prescott hit Lamb for 22 yards, but the wideout was tackled by cornerback Darius Slay at the 5 to end the game — and send Roseman frolicking into the locker room.
