Eagles 49, Cowboys 21

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Terrell Owens must be running out of material for his touchdown celebrations. Two weeks after mocking Ray Lewis, he reverted to one of his old moves.

Back on the field where he began turning scores into performance opportunities, Owens once again did his thing on the Dallas Cowboys' logo. Only this time, he used a star on a helmet in the end zone, not the large one at midfield.

Owens had plenty of chances to celebrate Monday night with three TD catches in the Eagles' 49-21 win over Dallas.

He pretended to ice skate into the end zone after his 59-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He posed on the smaller star logo in the end zone after his 27-yarder in the second quarter and then slam-dunked the ball over the crossbar after his last score.

”I'm just going out here having fun,” said Owens, who caught six passes for 134 yards in his second three-TD game of the season. ”I can't do too much … I just have to keep it low key.”

The latest celebrations were nothing like four years ago when Owens was with San Francisco and celebrated twice on the midfield logo. Emmitt Smith mocked him after the first one, and safety George Teague flattened him on the next one.

Philadelphia (8-1) rebounded from its only loss by scoring its most points in a regular-season game since beating the St. Louis Cardinals 52-10 in November 1981.

Donovan McNabb completed 15 of 28 passes for 345 yards and four touchdowns, the other a 59-yarder to Todd Pinkston. He also had an incredible scramble that led to a 60-yard completion and set up Brian Westbrook's 1-yard run just before halftime.

The Eagles had a 35-14 halftime lead, already with more points than they had scored in a game this season and matching the most ever allowed by Dallas (3-6) in a half.

”The guys took pride in themselves to come out here and rebound from the loss last week,” Owens said. ”We came in with a passion, the pride and the character of the guys on this team, and it showed today.”

Lito Sheppard capped the scoring with a 101-yard interception return.

Dallas has lost five of six games, the last three losses by at least 20 points each. The Cowboys have lost eight of nine to Philadelphia by an average of 24 points.

”We couldn't slow them down, simple as that,” Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said. ”They were too much for us.”

Unlike the 26-3 loss at Cincinnati the previous week, when Parcells called the Cowboys ”stupid,” Dallas was simply outplayed this time. But there were still several boneheaded mistakes — such as flags on all three extra points, a fumbled punt and a muffed kickoff that was recovered.

Dallas gave up its most points ever at home, and the most anywhere since losing 50-24 at Cincinnati in December 1985.

Philadelphia scored on four straight possessions in the second quarter, the first team to ever score four touchdowns in a quarter against Dallas.

The Eagles made it five straight possessions with a TD when Owens caught a 16-yarder over two defenders in the third quarter to make it 42-21 and give him his NFL-best 12th TD.

”It takes a couple plays for us to get a little momentum,” McNabb said. ”Once things get going, we feel confident that every play that we call is going to be effective and possibly get in the end zone.”

McNabb had the most incredible play, on third-and-10 from the Philadelphia 25 in the second quarter.

McNabb spun away from one would-be tackler and sprinted to his right, only to find another defender. So he went back to his left, chased by two more players, and finally heaved the ball. Replays showed he held the ball for 14 seconds before the 60-yard pass to Freddie Mitchell.

”We had everybody on our front four miss him back there,” Parcells said, but not necessarily calling that the key play. ”They had a lot of them that you could put in that category.”

Two days after turning 41, Vinny Testaverde hit 21 of 30 passes for 254 yards with two TDs to tight end Jason Witten, who had nine catches for 133 yards. Eddie George added a 15-yard TD run.

Notes: The Eagles are 16-1 after a loss since losing consecutive games in Weeks 2 and 3 of the 2000 season. … After seven turnovers the last two games, Testaverde had just one Monday night. … After Owens' first TD, he and McNabb playfully argued on the sideline, mocking their sideline confrontation from last week's 27-3 loss to Pittsburgh.
