From comeback wins to frustrating losses, the Eagles, Cowboys, and Giants each faced pivotal matchups that shaped their early-season narratives.
Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season delivered high drama and defining moments for the NFC East. From comeback wins to frustrating losses, the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Giants each faced pivotal matchups that shaped their early-season narratives.
Philadelphia Eagles
The defending Super Bowl champions staged a thrilling comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams, 33–26, at Lincoln Financial Field. Trailing by 19 early in the third quarter, quarterback Jalen Hurts led three touchdown drives and capped the rally with a scoring pass to DeVonta Smith. Defensive tackle Jordan Davis sealed the win with a 61-yard return after blocking a late Rams field goal attempt. The Eagles improved to 3–0 for the third time in four seasons.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys fell to the Chicago Bears, 31–14, in a game marked by missed opportunities and mounting frustration. Quarterback Dak Prescott struggled to find rhythm, and wide receiver George Pickens was visibly upset after a dropped pass led to an interception. Dallas failed to capitalize on red zone chances and dropped to 1–2 on the season, raising questions about offensive consistency.
New York Giants
The New York Giants fell to 0–3 after a disjointed performance against Kansas City. Russell Wilson regressed sharply from his Week 2 showing, throwing two interceptions and failing to lead a touchdown drive through the air.
