PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- With the season hanging in thebalance, the Philadelphia Eagles had little margin for error.Unfortunately, that margin was erased in the first half.

Tony Romo completed 20-of-25 passes for 324 yards and threetouchdowns as the Dallas Cowboys took advantage of two turnoversby Donovan McNabb to post a 38-17 victory over the Eagles.

Dallas (7-1) moved a game ahead of the idle New York Giants inthe NFC East, while Philadelphia (3-5) suffered a serious blowto its postseason hopes.


With the theme song from the movie "Rocky" being played prior tothe kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles took a punchto the gut on the first play from scrimmage.


McNabb was hit by Marcus Spears and fumbled the ball, which wasrecovered by linebacker Bradie James at the Philadelphia 37-yardline.


Six plays later, Julius Jones ran it in from two yards out togive Dallas a quick 7-0 lead. During the drive, Romo foundTerrell Owens for a 23-yard completion on third-and-six to setup the score.


Philadelphia tied it on its next possession when Brian Westbrookscored on a 3-yard TD run after McNabb completed a 45-yard passto Reggie Brown.


The Cowboys answered on their ensuing possession when Romocapped a 9-play, 72-yard scoring drive with a 1-yard toss toTony Curtis that gave Dallas a 14-7 advantage after one quarter.

Dallas was stopped late in the second quarter when Lito Sheppardintercepted a Romo pass deep in Eagles territory, but safetyKen Hamlin then intercepted McNabb and returned it 14 yards tothe Philadelphia 14.


Marion Barber followed with a 5-yard touchdown run that gave theCowboys a 21-7 halftime advantage.


Dallas put the game away in the third quarter with twotouchdowns sandwiched around a David Akers' 36-yard field goalto take a commanding 35-10 lead.


Romo connected with Owens on a 45-yard scoring strike just overtwo minutes into the period. Only happy when the attention isdirected his way, Owens couldn't resist mocking his old team,flapping his arms to mimic an eagle following his TD reception.

After Akers' field goal, Romo then hooked up with Jason Wittenfor a 20-yard scoring strike to increase the margin to 25points.
