they are great in pass protection in the routes. the big boys lead the way. fun to play behind them. >> michele: you lost your kicker midway through. didn't have a kicker for the second half which limited you in terms of point after attempts and field goals. how do you look at the challenge? >> you have to keep going. nice two-point conversions. we have to go back to the drawing board. it's within of those things. adversity strikes. we have to keep going. >> michele: congratulations, carson. jenkins led the defensive performance. you had a deflection on the first interception. you came up with the third interception and didn't let them in the end zone. what made this defense work tonight? >> everybody's doing their part. we knew it coming into the game in a hostile environment. everybody would have to do their job. nothing more than that. you saw guys contributing. they did a good job getting in

big personnels. moving the ball well. everybody stepped up. we have four take aways and a score. didn't let them in the end zone. that's what we hung our hat on. not doing anything special. everybody doing their job. when the number is called step it up. >> michele: 2009 you win with the saints. special teams. >> we hadn't won a super bowl yet. being on the 2009 team you have to enjoy the moment. enjoy the road. that's the biggest thing. we are trying to stay in the moment. this is a special year, special season. we have fun out here. we'll continue to stay that way. >> michele: it feels special? >> definitely special. the city is excited. the fan base is traveling well. we are having a good time. we'll stay in the moment. >> michele: thanks. mike? >> mike: just a few gray hairs

in the beard but a lot of life in not just malcolm jenkins but the defense. tony, i think over the last eight days we saw new england on sunday. pittsburgh. eagles have the best record at 9-1. in your estimation where are they in the conversation about the best team in the league. >> tony: i have to put them at the top now, mike. i was impressed tonight. carson wentz, we know what football he played. he wasn't red hot today but they have many ways to win. they are a complete team. speed everywhere. he talked about the offensive line. he wasn't hot but they ran for over 200 yards. that helped take pressure off him. jay ajayi has been a big addition to the team. defensively, they have speed everywhere. they have pass rushers. they are good in the secondary. a lot of ways to score. two turnovers tonight. really a complete team. i have to say they are playing the best football of anyone now. >> mike: agreed.

dallas, one touchdown scored the last two games. they lost by 48 points. a lot of work to do with the short turn around to the chargers on thanksgiving. happy holiday to you. let's bring in mike florio from pro football talk.com. they went with nathan peterman the quarterback. five interceptions in the first half. buffalo loses to the rj chaers. kansas city next week. what are they going to do at quarterback? >> mike: coach mcdermott said he'll evaluate the position. this is after benching tyrod taylor and putting in peterman. this is about having a franchise quarterback. the bills don't have one. sean mcdermott got his job in part with the fact that cam newton is a franchise quarterback. they tend to get guys hired elsewhere, make everyone successful and the bills haven't had one since jim kelly. that's the play here for the bills, finding a franchise quarterback. they decided it's not taylor or

peteren ma. now getting through the season until the draft. they have the ammunition to move up and get one of the best guys coming out and maybe a couple years from now we'll talk about their version of carson wentz or deshaun watson or another young person who is a franchise quarterback for the bills. >> mike: interesting. we head to the wild card season. tomorrow morning mike hosts pro football talk.com from 7:00 to 9:00 eastern followed by the dan patrick show from 9:00 to 2:00. big win for philadelphia here. al and cris look ahead to thanksgiving night after this. help from my friends" ] ♪ vw drivers have always put others first.

talk about a -- take on the boys even on late sunday night. xfinity live was rocking all night long. >> and they're still rocking. there are more than 100 people here. the eagles coming alive in the second half being down 7-9. the offense reports started checking in for the rough first half. they were doing it through the run, through the past, the defense was coming through. the eagles locker room right now with john. is there anything better to win in dallas, john? >> reporter: i saw a little bit of -- sold out in the first half only 7 points. then to erupt for 30 points in the second half, unbelievable, they demolished dallas and now they're in complete control. 9 and 1. up four games in the division with 6 to go.

i went one on one with glass berg new jersey. he had the touch down and the two point conversion. >> how impressive is this? 37-9? >> it's just an awesome feeling. shows the preparation we had all week. guys took it serious and we came out and performed and put on a show for the traveling fans of philadelphia. >> what was said at halftime, any changes made to have 32 points in the second half? >> we had to relax and stay calm. we know the -- so hat's off to those guys and we knew the prermgs we had building up this week was going to lead sooner or later. >> seven touch downs, including the two-point conversion. best touch down and percentage in the entire nfl. >> really? >> yeah. >> that just shows i don't care about the numbers i just come

out and have fun. >> you grew up a cowboys' fan in glass borough right? >> i don't know what you're talking about. >> wen did you let go of that? >> i -- we still got more games to play. >> how fortunate in this stadium with -- >> we knew what when you were headed into, so guys took it serious, we came out to play. >> thank you a lot for your time. >> thank you. oochlt thank you. joining me now the great mike quick. you rushed down here after calling the game upstairs. the eagles had a slow point only 7 points in the first half. they ended up with 215? >> i think it tells you a lot about this football team.

the way they started and the fact they're coming off. i think the people expected them to come off flat and they didn't play well at all. the cowboys moved the ball down the field, didn't score touch down on the two possessions but it looked like they were in control of the football game. they didn't play well in the first half rkt then in the second half they came out and took control of the football game, primarily by running the football and keeping to a basic game plan. >> yeah, and you got to give a number of doug pedersen, look at the number of quarterbacks he's using. and carson wentz struggled. without jake elliot, two point con verges, a lot of good players on those? >> i think the second half when they commit to running the football and making sure they pound it had guys. look at the big guys up front running the football game. that's what they decided to do in halftime. wen you're able to do that it makes the game easier.

for doug, it makes play calling easier when you're getting five yards on first down running the ball. >> mike, it really is unbelievable. it's only four times in history that they started 9-1. they have set themselves up beautifully because they come back home to face the bears. and the touch stretch at seattle. but they have set themselves up now. >> there's some wiggle room now. they have to think about the entire nfc now, not just the nfc east. now it's positioning yourself for the play off and trying to get home field advantage. if they can get a buy the first round, that's really what they have to think about. the new orleans saints, the minnesota vikings and teams like that still in the hunt. >> mike thank you very much. let's go to doug pedersen live right now at the podium.

>> no one panicked, on the first half just missed on a few thing. and having a couple weeks off, having a vibe, it's just indicative of that. this team is resilient and they didn't let the first half waiver at all. >> you've been around a lot of teams, you lost players all year long, you lose your quicker. what does it say, and if you had a team like this that had just picked it up the way they pick it up wen they just lose a guy? >> i can't recall being on a team with the amount of injuries and things that we've had to overcome, and yet the next man -- if there's any -- you know the next man is up, it's the guys in the locker room

because you never think -- or you hope you don't have to put -- out there and kick off and do the things we did in that second half and ruin the whole game. just credit to the guys and that'll do what ever it takes to win a game. >> when did you decide it was strictly two point versions and how many place do you have -- >> well when i found out that jake was being evaluated, you know, at that point i went to go forward on fourth bound, you know in the field goal range situations and really the scoring drives were just -- a no-brainer, no forit. two point conversions. we used -- we'd go with a couple two-point plays and we always got the red zone plays we can fall back on.

and just had a good plan, they were well prepared in that situation. so, yeah it's fortunate that we had -- it's unfortunate but it's fortunate we had that many players. >> you could try and do the extra points, did you consider -- [inaudible]. >> it's a tough -- it's a fine line there. i think i would have maybe tried a field goal, but i was going to just put it in the offensive hands at that time. >> third quarter -- [inaudible]. >> i think at halftime we were pretty balanced. i think we were half past 12 run at past time. we just wanted to commit back, we didn't really change anything at halftime we just committed to the same runs that we had. if he felt like we could stay

between the tackles and get some double-teams in there. the guys did a great job, tight end. >> when was elliot hurt and -- [inaudible]. >> yeah i got to watch a little bit of the film and see, i know it was in the first half. until i know more item not fong to speculate on the head injury tip. [ inaudible question ] >> again i think it's the resilience, the pressure, you know, again we felt like going in, we'd have to stop the run a little bit, it's a good running football team. just getting pressure on the quarterback. it helps too whether you do get lead in the game to let your pass rush take off. i think had a really good performance tonight, evaluate the film on the way home.

defense -- the interceptions, a couple picks and fumble for the touch down, it's a great effort by the defense. >> forget how young carson is sometimes and he seems a little frustrated in the first half. how did you manage that frustration? >> we were off a little bit in the passing game, and we could see a little frustration with him. i just keep talking to him, i say hey, we got to keep it with the game plan, trust the game plan, talk to the guys and we'll get this thing fixed. great communication between he and i on the sideline. you know, just kept shooting, kept you know battling up throws. wanted to get him on the edge a little bit. that moved the pocket some. just, you know, just stayed the

course. >> first game wrult like you had to calm him down a little bit? >> i don't think i had to calm -- he was just -- i mean he was -- he was wanting to perform so well, and sometimes you know you just to trust just a little bit. when the play is there or not there, you know, the ball's not complete or whatever, and you just -- it's tough but at the same time you just got to keep shooting, keep fighting. and he's one of those guys that never quits and just kept down on his number. >> when you started you talked about this could be one of those special teams that's legendary. when you look at what you guys have been able to do, do you think guys in that locker room, if they were questioning whether they were that good, do you think they believe that? >> i do think they believe.

it's just -- it's a strong that the team has right now. it's a strength to leadership on the football team. not letting thing get too out of proportion with this group. we talked about the injuries and resilient resilient and the next man up. the players have that confident mind set on game day that they're not going to be denied and that's something this group has. >> whether you look back, when you see carson make a play, i mean he was done and sacked. all of a sudden he breaks away and makes -- but he does a lot of those. do you ever say wow and say, i can't believe he made that play? >> you do. you catch yourself and go, man, this kid. but then i got to regroup and refocus and get the next play ready to go. he's definitely a highlight reel

and a great competitor of this team. today guys want to play for players like that and play for carson wentz it's a good thing to see. [ inaudible question ] >> darvy was involved with the two picks. he played well. first game back and i welcomed him back during pregame and he did a nice job. >> watched you coach not too long ago, what are your fondest memories of that considering where you're at now? >> i look back and think about those days and some of the teams and success we had. it's fun when you win games obviously and doesn't matter what level and, you know the league you're in and still have the same support from family and friends and being this close to home and to see them come over here and want to watch the game

is always a special thing for me and my family. >> -- coach doug pedersen talking about the eagles performance. he's clearly so proud of his team, how resilient they are, not letting the first -- we were all a little nervous here on x funty live at the half wanting to separate from the pack and boy did they ever. >> 30 unanswered points. the orr thing is the defense came through pig time. the defense didn't allow a single touch down. then you add to that, jake elliot went out. he had no if i canner so he's -- kicker so he's forced to go every single time and you fail one time to convert that. this team is resilient. fans are resilient as well. let's go down to texas once again. nbc 10 east randy is thrdown th.

>> reporter: we are behind enemy lines here in austin, texas. there was actually an eagles tailgate from green allelegion, that's a group that does this. some of them joining me right now, how is that game? so the how was it inside the stadium. >> it was fabulous. there's so much energy from the eagles fan it's unbelievable. >> reporter: you guys flew in from philadelphia just to come here? >> yes. >> reporter: how was it? >> it was amazing. i knew i was going to get a win and i got one. >> reporter: back to you guys. >> the negame is next we're breaking down what is next for the birds. >> danny palmetto joining us

with that. >> reporter: the eagles basically have more control than janet jackson. they have a commanding four game position after tonight's demolition of the cowboys. kicker jake elliot makes the tackle with the helmet to helmet contact, forced them to later lose the game. eagles march down the field. a four-yard td, eagles up 73 and barner passing out the dow dough to everybody. look at this third down where wentz has his head to the defender's knee, that earned him a knee to the quiet place but he didn't stay long. later in the quarter the hand off to jay ajiey the new guy.
