(Newser) – Terrell Owens sealed the Cowboys' victory over his former team by running through, around and over the Eagles to rack up 174 yards on 10 catches, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. The 3-5 Eagles are now 0-3 against NFC East opponents, and all that's soaring in Philly now are doubts about coach Andy Reid and quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Tony Romo was dead on for the Cowboys, completing 20 of 25 passes for 324 yards and three touchdowns. Marion Barber picked up 106 yards and scored a key touchdown. McNabb ended up with 276 yards on 27-of-46 passing and the Eagles converted three of three fourth downs, but the implosion of Philly's defense was too much for its offense to overcome.
