Philadelphia Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson blamed his performance for the team’s 38-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on October 27, 2026, marking his return from a knee injury that sidelined him since the opening week of the NFL season.
The Philadelphia Eagles dropped to a 2-5 record on Monday night following a 38-21 defeat against the rival Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. The Monday night matchup saw the Eagles lose ground as the Cowboys outscored the home team 28-7 over the final 43 minutes of play, extending Philadelphia’s losing streak to five games, according to NBC Sports.

Landon Dickerson Evaluates His Return to the Offensive Line
Returning to the starting lineup for the first time since injuring his knee in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, Dickerson took full blame for the offensive breakdowns that sealed the defeat. Dallas defensive tackle Quinnen Williams beat the left guard on two critical fourth-quarter snaps, including a decisive sack of quarterback Tanner McKee as the Eagles attempted a late comeback down by 10 points with just over six minutes remaining. Ahead of Philadelphia’s Monday night matchup, the three-time Pro Bowl guard shared a picture of himself running out of the stadium tunnel on his verified Instagram page with a message signaling his return after an extended absence. Willie Lampkin had provided admirable effort in his place during the injury absence, but is not an ideal starting guard.
I let my guys down. I didn’t play good enough. These guys work their a— off to come in here and compete every day. I just wasn’t good enough.

Dickerson was equally direct regarding the game’s final sequences as reported by NBC Sports, stating that those specific late-game errors ultimately decided the outcome.
F—ing the two plays at the end, f—ing losing us the game.

Roster Pressures and Injuries Compound Philadelphia’s Struggles
The offensive line featured Dickerson alongside left tackle Jordan Mailata in an effort to restore stability, and the running game found initial success running behind the left guard before running back Saquon Barkley exited due to an injury. The departure of Barkley limited the offense once Dallas seized control of the scoreboard. Following the contest, second-year linebacker Jihaad Campbell suggested he and his defensive teammates were responsible for the defeat, highlighting that plenty of blame circulated among the roster.
The physical toll on the roster extends far beyond the current game. Quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the remainder of the season due to multiple blood clots discovered in his lungs, leaving general manager Howie Roseman to evaluate veteran players for potential trades ahead of the November 10 NFL trade deadline as detailed by Yardbarker. Despite the challenging circumstances, Barkley challenged his teammates after the game to never quit and never give up.

Preparing for the Washington Commanders Matchup
Despite mounting injuries and a 2-5 record, Dickerson noted that locker room morale remains intact, pointing out that his teammates continue to battle through adversity.

The Eagles will attempt to halt their five-game skid when they travel to face the 1-4-1 Washington Commanders this coming Sunday night. DraftKings Sportsbook listed Philadelphia as a 4.5-point underdog for the divisional contest according to Yardbarker’s reporting.
