ARLINGTON Dallas Cowboys Randy Gregory Jersey , Texas (AP) — Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson boldly said last week that his team would forget the previous day’s road loss to the Minnesota Vikings, go to Dallas, and “win that football game” against the Cowboys.But lost fumbles on the Eagles’ first two possessions Sunday night resulted in two Dallas touchdowns in the Cowboys’ 37-10 win and negated an atypical Pederson pregame maneuver that was aimed at avoiding another slow start, which have plagued the team this season.Pederson said he didn’t regret his statement and pointed to early turnovers as the difference.“I have a lot of faith and confidence in the guys,” he said. “You can’t start the game with that, which led to 14 (Cowboys) points. That’s hard against good football teams.”The Eagles (3-4) trail the first-place Cowboys, who snapped a three-game losing streak, by one game in the NFC East. They will play their third straight road game next Sunday, against the Buffalo Bills (5-1).After the Eagles won the coin toss, Pederson elected to receive a kickoff for only the second time in 33 opportunities during his four seasons as Philadelphia’s coach. The Eagles were shut out in four of six previous first quarters this season.Their first drive ended at their 45-yard line when tight end Dallas Goedert was hit by Jaylon Smith and fumbled with Maliek Collins recovering. Six plays later, the Cowboys scored on a 20-yard run by receiver Tavon Austin on an option pitch around right end.The Eagles’ second possession lasted only two plays. DeMarcus Lawrence had a strip sack of Carson Wentz with Dallas taking over at Philadelphia’s 14. The Cowboys needed only two plays to score again, Ezekiel Elliott running around left end after barely being pulled down at the 1 on the previous play.“A little embarrassed — we didn’t show up,” Wentz said.Dallas’ 27-7 halftime lead marked the most points that the Eagles have allowed in a first half this season and the most in any half under Pederson. They’ve trailed at intermission five times this season, rallying to win only once (trailing the Washington Redskins 20-7 in Week 1 in a 32-27 win.)Philadelphia’s only first-half scoring drive, ending in a 28-yard touchdown catch by Goedert over the middle, was kept alive by a third-down roughing-the-passer call against Smith and later aided by an unnecessary roughness penalty against Xavier Woods.The Eagles allowed 37 points after giving up a season-high 38 to the Vikings. The defense allowed a season-high 189 rushing yards on Sunday night with Elliott being the first opposing back to break triple figures (111).“We weren’t closing our gaps Youth Robert Newhouse Jersey ,” linebacker Nathan Gerry said. “We were giving them too much space. Zeke is a good running back. You give him a little crease, he’s going to find the crease and he’s going to make a play out of it. We’ve just got to do a good job of eliminating the size of those gaps.”Philadelphia was a season-worst minus-3 in the turnover battle (4-1) with Wentz losing two fumbles and throwing an interception.“It puts the defense in a bind,” Wentz said. “You can’t do that, early especially.”Pederson said the loss was “either one or two” among his worst as Eagles coach. He said his team came to AT&T Stadium well prepared, but Gerry said the Eagles needed to perform better during the week leading up to the game.“We have to practice better throughout the week,” he said. “We have to bring better energy throughout the week. We just have to be a better football team going forward.”Wentz said he doesn’t see a team that’s coming apart following two disappointing performances.“I love that locker room,” he said. “I obviously think these losses — you never want to lose — but I think it’s going to pull us together.“It’s a long season. We can get these things fixed, get it going in the right direction. I’ve been with these guys. I know what they’re all capable of.” OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Dallas defensive end Robert Quinn says he chose his new team before an offseason trade from Miami because it felt like the right fit when he visited the Cowboys.There remains one issue unaddressed with owner Jerry Jones: protesting during the national anthem.Quinn raised his fist during the anthem while he was with the Rams and then the Dolphins. Jones has always taken a hard stance against such displays by his players, saying a year ago at training camp: “Our policy is that you stand at the anthem, toe on the line.”Quinn said he hasn’t addressed the topic yet with Jones.“It might come up,” Quinn told The Associated Press on Sunday when asked if he planned to discuss it with Jones. “Right now, it’s not on my mind. I’m here to play football right now. Focus on my new journey.”Asked if he and Jones had to get on the same page on the issue before the season, Quinn told the AP, “I don’t know. You’ll have to talk to Jerry about that one.” Jones declined to comment Monday.The Cowboys open the regular season at home against the New York Giants on Sept. 8. Their preseason opener is Aug. 10 in San Francisco.Since Colin Kaepernick sparked the debate in 2016 by kneeling during “The Star-Spangled Banner,” players have been kneeling Robert Newhouse Jersey Stitched , sitting or raising fists during the anthem to protest police brutality, social injustice and racial inequality. Quinn said he grew frustrated with the reporting on the issue during his time with the Dolphins because he thought the message getting out was too much about “war and prison.”“Until we start talking about peace, love and happiness, this world will never get better,” Quinn said. “That’s my message. To you and whoever wants to listen, my message is peace, love and happiness. If you can’t find peace, love and happiness within yourself, you’ll never find it in somebody else.“As sorry as it is, the type of world we live in, we’ve just got to, again, like I said, peace love and happiness within yourself. Just try to make the best out of every day. It’s frustrating. But only so much you can control. I got my family I need to take care of and some other folks. It sucks the way this world is. You can’t fight a war by yourself.”Last year, the NFL quickly scrapped a proposed compromise that would have allowed players to stay in the locker room during the anthem while subjecting them to potential punishment for any displays during the anthem.Jones said he wouldn’t even support players staying in the locker room, then offered his “toe on the line” declaration. A year earlier Youth Daryl Johnston Jersey , the outspoken billionaire was the first owner to suggest a player would be benched for protesting during the anthem.The closest any Dallas player has come to protesting during the anthem came in 2017 when defensive linemen David Irving and Damontre Moore raised their fists briefly as the song ended. They weren’t disciplined. Neither player is still with the Cowboys, but their departures weren’t related to issues over the anthem.When the anthem issue flared again early in the 2017 season following strong criticism of the players by President Donald Trump, the Cowboys decided on a show of unity before a game in Arizona. Before the anthem was played, Jones knelt with the players in a long line of locked arms. They stood before the anthem started.Jones has said he understands the point of view of players who have
