Dak Prescott threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten in overtime, giving the Dallas Cowboys their sixth straight win with a 29-23 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Prescott rallied the Cowboys with a late touchdown pass to Dez Bryant to tie the score, and he won a quarterback duel with a fellow rookie, Carson Wentz. Dallas (6-1) took a two-game division lead after rallying from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

Prescott, 23, recovered from a shaky start, finishing 19 of 39 for 287 yards with two scores and an end zone interception that cost the Cowboys points late in the first half.
