NFL Week 8 takeaways: CeeDee Lamb delivers for Cowboys, Eagles find a way again

New York Times  

Cover 7 | Sunday A daily NFL destination that provides in-depth analysis of football’s biggest stories.

Graham: Given the San Francisco 49ers’ recent turbulence and the Detroit Lions’ ugly loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week, we can safely call Philly the NFC’s best team. The Eagles fielded perhaps the most effective rushing attack last year, but with the Commanders keeping D’Andre Swift mostly in check, Hurts tossed four touchdowns to overcome an 11-point deficit deep into the second quarter.
