He admitted that he thought of Prescott playing for Philadelphia as he could be a good fit for its offense.

"The reality is this," Hugh said on Monday, via SportsRadio 94 WIP. "Dak, statistically, is the best quarterback that the Dallas Cowboys have ever had. That's a fact. The best. It's not gonna happen, but when I was recklessly speculating."

Dak Prescott on how defense led Cowboys' comeback against the Eagles

Dak Prescott believes the Cowboys' comeback win over the Eagles was a result of their resilience and defensive stops.

“Just take it one play at a time," Prescott told reporters after the game. "We have to win every play and give it your best every play. When you do that, can stay focused, and finish with elite execution, you’re going to feel confident.”

He also noted the issues that nearly derailed them.

“We have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot and this game could’ve been completely different," Prescott said.

Dallas’ defense was crucial in changing the momentum. Saquon Barkley was limited to 22 rushing yards with no touchdowns. A series of forced punts, a forced fumble by Williams and Osa Odighizuwa’s late-game sack that ended Jalen Hurts’ final possession were key moments.

The offense also recovered from its mistakes. Prescott led scoring drives when needed, supported by George Pickens. Brandon Aubrey, despite missing a 51-yard attempt earlier, delivered the game-winning field goal.

The Cowboys (5-5) will host the Kansas City Chiefs (6-5) on Friday.
