The Dallas Cowboys can now forget their horrible end to last year.

Tony Romo launched a touchdown pass of 49 yards to Miles Austin halfway into the last quarter as the Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 20-16 Sunday night in the 100th clash between two rival sections.

Romo completed 21 of his 34 passes for a total of 307 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

As for the Eagles, Donovan McNabb has been more staggered, one week after beating the Giants 40-17. McNabb threw for a total of 227 yards and a touchdown and was intercepted twice for the first time this season.

When the last day of the regular season in 2008, the Eagles had completely dominated the Cowboys in a 44-6 win games for both teams. The Eagles had obtained their passes with the win and had then won two playoff games on the road to get to the championship game of the National, they lost to the Arizona Cardinals.

The Cowboys (6-2) had spent the offseason pondering over this defeat.

Sunday, they got a little revenge by taking possession of first place in the East in the NFC with their fourth straight win.

The Eagles now have a record of 5-3 and the Giants, despite having had a great start (5-0) are now 5-4.
