ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Hollywood ending wasn’t meant to be for Gardner Minshew and the Philadelphia Eagles. Minshew accounted for three touchdowns, but his second interception led to the go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter of Dallas’ 40-34 victory. Minshew was making his first start of the season in place of the injured Jalen Hurts. He had a shot at a winning touchdown pass in the final seconds just four days after Minshew spoke at the memorial service of his college coach, Mike Leach. Minshew’s final desperation pass landed incomplete in the end zone. He threw for 355 yards.
