IRVING, Texas (AP):

TERRELL OWENS caught his 131st career touchdown on Monday night, a 72-yarder, to take over sole possession of second place on the NFL career list and help the Dallas Cowboys claim a memorable 41-37 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

After seven lead changes, the game fittingly came to a close with a pass that included two laterals. Dallas stopped it, then walked away with the win at Texas Stadium.

Errors

The game included Tony Romo following one error with another, leading to Philadelphia touchdowns 14 seconds apart. Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson losing an apparent touchdown because he flicked the ball away in celebration before he actually scored, and, ultimately, there was Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook wasting great performances by fumbling a fourth-quarter hand-off exchange.

The game was decided cleanly after that turnover - a crisp Romo-led drive capped by Marion Barber's one-yard touchdown run, lifting the Cowboys to a victory that certainly will be remembered by anyone who saw it.

Philadelphia led 30-24 at halftime, but Dallas moved in front on a 17-yard touchdown catch by Barber. The Eagles came right back, with McNabb overcoming a second-and-21 by scooting out of two near collisions, avoiding an ankle tackle and zipping the football like a fast-pitch softball to Westbrook. The drive ended with Westbrook churning into the end zone for his third touchdown and a 37-31 lead.

All the way

Dallas got close with a 47-yard field goal from Nick Folk, but Philadelphia were driving for a lead-padding score when McNabb put the ball on Westbrook's hip instead of in his belly. The Cowboys recovered at the 33 and Romo moved them all the way to the go-ahead score, the big play being a 32-yard pass to Jason Witten.

Philadelphia hardly threatened on their final two tries. Their final two-lateral play was shoved out of bounds.

Second place

Romo was 21-of-30 for 312 yards with three touchdowns, plus a lost fumble and an interception. Owens had 89 yards on three catches, two going for touchdowns. He had the early 72-yarder and a four-yarder, although he didn't catch a pass in the second half. His first TD moved him into second place on the NFL's career-receiving touchdown list. He finished at 132, well behind Jerry Rice's record of 197.

McNabb was 25-of-37 for 281 yards with a touchdown and four sacks, two on the final series. He also matched Ron Jaworski's club mark of 175 career TD passes.
