Talking Points
What we're talking about after the Eagles' loss to the Cowboys:
-- Tale of the concussed running back. Brian Westbrook was held out for the second straight game after experiencing what the Eagles described as "symptoms of a mild headache" on Friday. Too early to tell whether he'll play against the Chargers.
-- The fourth-and-1 decision. After failing to pick up a first down on a third-and-1 in the fourth quarter, Andy Reid decided to go for it on fourth-and-1. But the officials ruled that Donovan McNabb's quarterback sneak came up short. The Cowboys got the ball back on a short field and drove down for the game-winning touchdown.
-- The bad Donnie. A week after one of the best performances of his career in the Eagles' win over the Giants, McNabb completed just 16 of 30 passes and threw two interceptions against the Cowboys. His accuracy ran hot and cold.
-- Third-down struggles. The Eagles converted just four of 12 third-down opportunities against the Cowboys, and came up empty on three third downs of 2 yards or less.
-- The disappearance of the kids. The Cowboys did an excellent job of neutralizing big-play receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. Maclin had three catches, Jackson two. No touchdowns.
