Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season<\/a> delivered high drama and defining moments for the NFC East. From comeback wins to frustrating losses, the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Giants<\/a> each faced pivotal matchups that shaped their early-season narratives.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia Eagles<\/p>\n

The defending Super Bowl champions staged a thrilling comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams<\/a>, 33\u201326, at Lincoln Financial Field. Trailing by 19 early in the third quarter, quarterback Jalen Hurts led three touchdown drives and capped the rally with a scoring pass to DeVonta Smith. Defensive tackle Jordan Davis sealed the win with a 61-yard return after blocking a late Rams field goal attempt. The Eagles improved to 3\u20130 for the third time in four seasons.<\/p>\n

Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n

The Cowboys fell to the Chicago Bears<\/a>, 31\u201314, in a game marked by missed opportunities and mounting frustration. Quarterback Dak Prescott struggled to find rhythm, and wide receiver George Pickens was visibly upset after a dropped pass led to an interception. Dallas failed to capitalize on red zone chances and dropped to 1\u20132 on the season, raising questions about offensive consistency.<\/p>\n

New York Giants<\/p>\n

The New York Giants fell to 0\u20133 after a disjointed performance against Kansas City. Russell Wilson regressed sharply from his Week 2 showing, throwing two interceptions and failing to lead a touchdown drive through the air.<\/p>\n
