Handing out 10 awards from the Eagles-Cowboys game

In Week 17, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the crap out of the Dallas Cowboys for the second time this season.

As always, win, lose, or tie, we hand out 10 awards.

1) The 'Bullpen' Award : Kenny Pickett Pickett relieved Hurts during the Eagles' Week 17 loss to the Washington Commanders.

He did some good things, but he probably did more bad things ( as shown here ).

After the loss, there was a lot of hand-wringing locally over what the Eagles needed to do to hide Pickett's deficiencies to beat the Cowboys.

But Pickett was much better against the Cowboys than he was in relief of Hurts a week ago.

Before getting knocked out of the game with an injury to his ribs, Pickett completed 10 of 15 passes for 143 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs, and a QB rating of 119.6.

He was poised and much more accurate.

Pickett has had the benefit of playing for good teams, but he now has a career 15-10 record.

2) The 'Ceedy Duce ' Award 2: Chauncey Gardner-Johnson Or "deuce" or whatever.

A week after getting ejected for saying mean things to Commanders players, and flipping the double bird to the away fans, Gardner-Johnson picked off two passes.

His first pick was on a promising Cowboys opening drive, and he returned it for a score.

They were -10 last year.

3) The 'Rare Company' Award : Saquon Barkley Barkley carried 31 yards for 167 yards, and went over 2000 yards on the season.

His record-breaking run: SAQUON BARKLEY.

2K RUSHING YARDS.

With DaRon Bland matched up all day against A.J.

Brown, Smith had favorable matchups against CB7 Andrew Booth, and the Eagles took advantage.

Touchdown No.

1 was Kenny Pickett's best throw as an Eagle.

He stepped up to avoid the rush and floated an accurate pass to an open Smith: In between his two TDs, Smith hauled in a deep ball from Pickett, which was originally ruled a TD but was overturned on review.

PICKETT TO DEVONTA FOR A 49-YARD SHOT.

Touchdown No.

2 was a pick play on a quick in route that Smith took to the house with a nice run after catch: Great day for DeVonta, tough day for Booth.

5) The 'Hands of Glue' Award : Grant Calcaterra and A.J.

Brown Calcaterra made a great one-handed catch in the second quarter.

That was on 3rd and 8.

If he doesn't make that play, the Eagles are punting with a tie score.

Instead, they finished that drive with a TD.

A.J.

Brown also made an incredible catch, even if it didn't count: AJ Brown almost made the sickest grab : #DALvsPHI on FOX : https://t.co/waVpO8ZBqG pic.twitter.com/UUIDvCyT4a Brown did have one that counted on a pretty back shoulder throw from Tanner McKee.

GO BACK TO AJ BROWN.

Great throw by Tanner McKee.

Brown returned to the Eagles' sideline to find a bunch of his teammates with their arms up, like "WHAT THE HELL, A.J.?!" Brown immediately regretted his understandable mistake and would eventually make good on it.

Nick Sirianni instructed a ball guy to find the fan, and Brown would give him a game-worn, signed jersey in exchange for the ball, which be returned to McKee.

Promise kept.

A.J.

6) The 'Mormon Missile' Award : Tanner McKee After Pickett went out with his ribs injury, McKee came in and threw dimes.

He finished 3/4 for 54 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, and a QB rating of 156.2.

McKee has had stellar showings in each of the last two Eagles preseasons, and he was ready to play when he got his opportunity in a real game.

(We'll likely have more on him this week.) We learned from multiple members of the Eagles' offensive line that they call him "The Mormon Missile." 7) The 'Sweep' Award : The Eagles, over the Cowboys The Eagles didn't just sweep the Cowboys this season.

They blew them out twice, by a combined score of 75-13.

The Cowboys were missing most of their best players, including Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Zack Martin, Trevon Diggs, DeMarcus Lawrence, DeMarvion Overshown, and other notable role players.

It was never their season.

Still, the Eagles haven't swept the Cowboys since 2011, so beating them twice no doubt felt good for a number of the older vets on the roster.

The only current Eagles player on that 2011 roster was Brandon Graham.

8) The Adjustment Award: Vic Fangio and the Eagles defense The Cowboys gained 105 yards on their first two drives, scoring a TD on one of them, and were having success moving the ball against the Eagles' defense, you know, the CJGJ pick-six aside.

Thereafter, the Eagles' D clamped down, allowing just 153 yards and shutting out the Cowboys the rest of the way.

9) The 'Dawg' Award : Sydney Brown After a special teams play, Brown got jumped by a pair of Cowboys, and he dumped one of them over a railing not unlike a hockey player dumping an opponent over the boards.

Brown was ejected, but received a standing ovation from the Philly faithful.

They can still earn the 1 seed if all of the following occurs: Follow Jimmy & PhillyVoice on Twitter: @JimmyKempski | thePhillyVoice Like us on Facebook: PhillyVoice Sports Add Jimmy's RSS feed to your feed reader.
