State senator’s ‘public hanging’ remark draws rebuke

“Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith’s shame-
By EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS 
The Associated Press ‘We need leaders, not dividers, and her words show that ful remarks prove once again how Trump

JACKSON — A newly published vid-
eo shows a white Republican U.S. sen-
ator in Mississippi praising someone
by saying: “If he invited me to a public
hanging, I’d be on the front row.”
Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, who faces a
black Democratic challenger in a Nov.
27 runoff, said Sunday that her Nov. 2 re-
mark was “an exaggerated expression of
regard” for someone who invited her to
speak, and “any attempt to turn this into
a negative connotation is ridiculous.”
Mississippi has a bitter history of ra-
cially motivated lynchings of black peo-
ple. The NAACP website says that be-
tween 1882 and 1968, there were 4,743
lynchings in the United States, and near-
ly 73 percent of the victims were black.
It says Mississippi had 581 during that
time, the most of any state.
Hyde-Smith is challenged by former
congressman and former U.S. agricul-
ture secretary Mike Espy.
“Cindy Hyde-Smith’s comments are
reprehensible,” Espy campaign spokes-
man Danny Blanton said in a statement
Sunday. “They have no place in our po-
litical discourse, in Mississippi, or our
country. We need leaders, not dividers,
and her words show that she lacks the
she lacks the understanding and judgment to represent
the people of our state.’
Espy campaign spokesman Danny Blanton
understanding and judgment to repre-
sent the people of our state.”
The video was shot in Tupelo, in front
of a statue of Elvis Presley, who was born
in the city in northeastern Mississippi.
It shows a small group of white people
clapping politely for Hyde-Smith after a
fellow cattle rancher introduced her.
Republican Gov. Phil Bryant appoint-
ed Hyde-Smith to temporarily succeed
Cochran, who retired amid health con-
cerns in April. She will serve until the
special election is resolved.
Hyde-Smith and Espy each received
about 41 percent of the vote in a four-per-
son race Tuesday to advance to the run-
off. The winner gets the final two years
of a term started by longtime Republi-
can Sen. Thad Cochran.
Espy in 1986 became the first Afri-
can-American since Reconstruction to
win a U.S. House seat in Mississippi,
and if he defeats Hyde-Smith, he would
be the first African-American since Re-
construction to represent the state in the
U.S. Senate.
Hyde-Smith, who is endorsed by
President Donald Trump, is the first
woman to represent Mississippi in ei-
ther chamber of Congress, and after
being appointed is trying to become the
first woman elected to the U.S. Senate
from the state.
Lamar White Jr., publisher of a
left-leaning Louisiana news site called
The Bayou Brief, posted the video Sun-
day on social media. White told The As-
sociated Press he received the video late
Saturday from “a very reliable, trusted
source,” but he would not reveal the per-
son’s name. He said that source received
it from the person who shot the video.
White said he believes he received
the video because he has been writing
about racism in the South for about a
dozen years.
“There’s no excuse to say what she
said,” White said of Hyde-Smith.
The national NAACP president Der-
rick Johnson, who is from Mississippi,
said Hyde-Smith’s comment shows a
lack of judgment.
has created a social and political climate
that normalizes hateful and racist rheto-
ric,” Johnson said in a statement. “Hyde-
Smith’s decision to joke about ‘hanging,’
in a state known for its violent and ter-
roristic history toward African Ameri-
cans, is sick. To envision this brutal and
degenerate type of frame during a time
when Black people, Jewish People and
immigrants are still being targeted for
violence by White nationalists and rac-
ists is hateful and hurtful.”
A Republican activist who initial-
ly supported another candidate in the
special U.S. Senate election said he will
vote for Hyde-Smith in the runoff, even
though he considers her a weak candi-
date.
“That comment about ‘a public hang-
ing’ is much ado about nothing,” said
Scott Brewster of Brandon, who is white.
“She’s not very smart and made a tone-
deaf comment. It doesn’t make her a rac-
ist.”
A Republican state lawmaker in Mis-
sissippi, Rep. Karl Oliver, came under
sharp criticism in May 2017 after he
posted on Facebook that people should
be lynched for removing Confederate
monuments.

the city’s parks. The city
is seeking the 1 percent
increases for 20 years,
with plans to tie them to
bonding for Cornerstone
Park, a planned tourna-
ment-ready park on High-
way 25 just south of the
Highway 12 interchange.
Cornerstone Park, de-
pending on how much the
city decides to build in it,
is estimated to cost any-
where from about $18.5
million to $22 million.
If the tax increases
make it through the Legis-
lature and are signed into
law, the matter will then
return to Starkville for a
referendum, which will
need 60 percent of the vote
to pass.
District 43 Rep. Rob
Roberson (R-Starkville)
said the city’s efforts to
strengthen its economy
through boosting recre-
ation tourism made sup-
porting legislation an easy
decision.
“It’s an economic motor
that can help our commu-
nity, whether it be through
the restaurants or the
hotels or what have you,”
Roberson said. “That mon-
ey will turn over into the
community several times.
“My theory on this
is anytime you can have
the opportunity to let the
community decide what
direction it wants to go in,
that’s never a bad thing,”
he added. “People will
have an opportunity to
vote on this, and the peo-
ple I’ve talked with — just
everyday folks that I’ve
mentioned it to — I real-
ly haven’t heard a whole
lot of negative comments
about it.”
District 37 Rep. Gary
Chism, who sits on the
House of Representatives’
Local and Private Legis-
lation Committee, said he
doesn’t foresee any trou-
ble with the legislation
passing because it will
include an election to let
Starkville’s voters decide
whether to approve the
tax.
“It’s going to some-
thing that is acceptable
that we use that local food
and beverage tax for,”
Chism said. “I don’t see
any problem with it. Since
it’s increasing, they’re
going to have to have a
referendum, and as long
as they’ve got a referen-
dum, there should not be
a problem.”
Chism was involved
in the end of Columbus’
restaurant tax last legis-
lative session after Lown-
des County and the City
of Columbus sent the
Legislature a combined
resolution removing
the tax’s $325,000 floor.
Chism and other repre-
sentatives put the floor
back in, causing the Sen-
ate to refuse to pass it and
killing the tax altogether.
At the time, Chism said
he was against removing
the floor because there
had been no referendum
to gauge voter support for
changing the tax.

“If the board wants to

said. “I haven’t heard of
any opposition to it. With
local support, I will sup-

Colorado’s election
of Jared Polis as
governor a remarkable
turnaround for state
Congressman Jared Polis quietly made
history Tuesday night. Early results indi-
cate Colorado voters have made him the
first openly gay governor to win election in
America.
Polis’ sexual orientation was such a
non-issue during the campaign that it would
be easy to forget that in 2012 the question
of whether same-sex couples could be
joined by civil unions brought the Colorado
General Assembly to a political meltdown.
That six years later Polis, his partner Mar-
lon Reis, and their two children are poised
to become the first-family of Colorado is
remarkable.
We went from a state where our elected
officials struggled to provide even basic
rights to same-sex couples to a state where
a gay man ran for governor and his sexual
orientation wasn’t discussed as a political
liability. Faith in humanity should be tempo-
rarily restored.
Denver Post reporter Nic Garcia docu-
mented the decades of ground work it took
to get to this point in his late-September
analysis: “From ‘Hate State’ to Jared Polis:
How Colorado led the way for gay, transgen-
der candidates to run for office — and win.”
The story was a remarkable retrospective
on how advocates responded to the 1992
passage of Amendment 2, which was a dis-
gusting attempt to make it illegal to protect
the LGBT community from discrimination.
Garcia told the story of Equality Colorado,
the Gay and Lesbian Fund, and One Colo-
rado, rising up and fighting for civil rights
in Colorado. And while ultimately it was the
U.S. Supreme Court that legalized same-
sex marriage across the nation, the grass-
roots work in Colorado was instrumental in
fighting against the hardest thing of all to
change: the hearts and minds of the 53 per-
cent of voters who supported Amendment 2.
But as far as this state and this nation has
come, it’s important that we take a moment
to note the historic significance of a Polis
victory because there’s much left to be done
on the equality front in this nation.
Just before the midterm elections,
President Donald Trump’s administration
proposed rolling back policies put in place
under President Barack Obama that provid-
ed protections for transgender individuals
across many aspects of government. The
rules in place ensured that transgender indi-
viduals would not face discrimination in gen-
der-related programs like those in health
care, schools or other benefits. There’s not a
single documented case of those new rules
causing anyone harm, and yet the rules have
been targeted for removal.
Such political maneuvers reinforce what
we already know and simultaneously fear:
it is popular and easy for politicians to turn
their backs on minority populations who
need the protection of the law the most.
It’s a reminder too of the unresolved
issues in Colorado. The U.S. Supreme Court
punted on the question of whether a small
business owner can be compelled by an-
ti-discrimination laws to serve all customers
equally even if it violates his or her religious
beliefs. That is a true point of conflict that
remains unresolved for the owner and
customers of Masterpiece Cake Shop in
Lakewood.

Jim Woodrick, Dep-
uty State Historical Di-
rector for MDAH, who
fielded questions during
the meeting, said he
understood the board’s
concern.
“At the meeting, I em-
phasized that being a

is a common mispercep-
tion,” Woodrick said. “In
fact, the regulations are
very flexible. The goal
is to make these land-
marks useable facilities

owners to make that
happen.”
Labat said she left the

aged.”
“I think we all left
feeling that the land-
make you get out of bed

Clayborne said she
was also motivated to vote
because she opposes the

Gay Jr. has best

game of career in
loss to Alabama
By Bret t Hudson
bhudson@cdispatch.com

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Prior to Saturday, the

Mississippi State football team’s defense started
every game with a shot of energy waiting on the
sidelines.
Against No. 1 Alabama, that boost — Willie
Gay Jr. — was on the field for the
first snap and nearly every one
after it.
Through the first nine games of
his sophomore season, the former
Starkville High School standout
was a player of critical importance
even though he wasn’t a starter.
Gay Jr.
But with starter Leo Lewis out due
to an illness, Gay responded with
the best game of his career: nine tackles, two
sacks, and his first career interception. Gay was
the bright spot in a 24-0 loss to the top-ranked
Crimson Tide.

BALANCED ATTACK PUSHES MSU TO 2-0

STARKVILLE — The opening
minutes of the No. 18 Mississippi
State men’s basketball team’s game
against Hartford on Sunday had a
discernible rhythm.
The Bulldogs would miss a shot
and spend the next 30 seconds de-
fending, as the Hawks milked every
second of the shot clock to keep an
athletic opponent stagnant.
The strategy worked, as MSU
attempted four shots in the first 3
minutes, 15 seconds.
That’s when the No. 18 Bulldogs
turned up the intensity on defense.
Quinndary Weatherspoon had
four of No. 18 MSU’s eight steals
in the first half to provide a spark
that propelled the Bulldogs to a 77-
59 victory in a MGM Resorts Main
Event tournament game at Hum-
phrey Coliseum.
Weatherspoon led the way with
22 points and six steals to help MSU
improve to 2-0. The senior guard
added four rebounds and two as-
sists in an effort that saw four play-
ers score in double figures.
The Bulldogs also finished with

15 steals that they converted into a
21-10 edge in points off turnovers.
“We stick to our game plan. We
tried to speed them up while they’re
being patient because that’s the
pace we’re used to playing at,” said
MSU senior forward Aric Holman,
who had one steal.
Point guard Lamar Peters’ first of
two steals opened the floodgates. His
jump into the passing lane gave him
an uncontested path to the rim for a
dunk that triggered an 11-0 run.
Tyson Carter added 14 points,
while Holman had 12 and Nick
Weatherspoon added 10.
“We’re shooting the ball well,” Car-
ter said. “We have guys that can han-
dle the ball and we know how to put
our teammates in a position to score.”
Nick Weatherspoon, Peters, and
Carter also contributed to the thiev-
ery with two steals that helped put
Hartford (0-3) on its heels.
“I expected them to be very pa-
tient, playing on the road,” MSU
coach Ben Howland said. “They
took 20 shots in the first half, which
means you’re on defense a lot and
when you quick shoot it, which we
did at times, then all of a sudden
you’re back on defense again.”
Before long, prolonged defensive
stands were gone — and so were
the Hawks.
MSU will play host to Long
Beach State at 8 p.m. Friday (SEC
Network) before going to Las Vegas
for the MGM Resorts Main Event.
“We weren’t that happy in the
locker room after an 18-point win,
which tells you that we have high
expectations internally, the players
do,” Howland said.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Record-setting Ole
Miss junior A.J. Brown is one of 11 semifinalists
for the 2018 Biletnikoff Award, the Tallahassee
Quarterback Club Foundation Inc., announced
Monday.
The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes
the outstanding Football Bowl
Subdivision receiver in college
football. Any player, regardless of
position (wide receiver, tight end,
slot back, and running back) who
catches a pass is eligible for the
award. As such, the Biletnikoff
Award recognizes college foot-
ball’s outstanding receiver, not Brown
merely college football’s outstand-
ing wide receiver.
Brown leads the Southastern Conference and
ranks fifth nationally in receiving yards with
1,047. His 7.2 receptions per game rank eighth in
the NCAA. Brown recently became Ole Miss’ all-
time leading receiver with 2,711 yards, passing
Shay Hodge’s (2006-09) mark of 2,646.
The Starkville native has five 100-yard receiv-
ing games this season, including three straight.
Brown is the only Ole Miss receiver in program
history to record 60 or more receptions in back-
to-back seasons, as well as the only Rebel wide-
out to go over 1,000 yards receiving in multiple
seasons.

Gay Jr. AP Poll

Continued from Page 1B
“He and Leo have been splitting reps basi-
cally down the middle for quite a time,” MSU
coach Joe Moorhead said. “Very athletic guy,
makes a lot of plays in the run game and also
makes plays in the pass game, getting in his
drops and covering the entire width of the
field.”
Gay displayed the energy he has become
known for on many of those plays. In fact, Gay
sacked quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and inter-
cepted him on consecutive plays.
“We know that’s Willie Gay. He brings that
energy even at times when he’s playing but he’s
not starting,” MSU senior defensive end Gerri
Green said.
Said MSU defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons,
“That’s Willie. Willie flies around to the ball.
He’s always around the ball. That’s Willie and
the dog mentality in him. We had a lot of confi-
dence in Willie tonight.”
Alabama faced a second-and-nine near the
left hash mark on its first possession of the
second half. Gay was lined up to the boundary
and presented an outside blitz look. Defensive
tackle Braxton Hoyett slanted his rush into the
tackle, which gave Gay a free path to Tagov-
ailoa.
On the next play, Gay was lined up for anoth-
er blitz, this one up the middle, but he backed
off at the snap. Under pressure, Tagovailoa
threw short and over the middle — right where
Gay dropped to at the snap.
“He threw it right to me,” Gay said. “I didn’t
know what to do when I caught it, I was kind of
surprised.
“When I caught it, I was like, ‘Yeah, gave
him his second one.’ ”
Doing it all against the No. 1 team is a big
moment, but one Gay had ample time to pre-
pare for. He said he had a good feeling he would
be thrown into this role but knew it almost for
certain by Wednesday.
Gay has seen plenty of big-time football in
his first two years as a Bulldog. This season,
he is MSU’s sixth-leading tackler with 37, 3.5
for a loss.
“Coming in, he played his heart out. He
made a lot of plays,” Simmons said.

especially at the top where the
only difference in the first 11
teams from last week was No. 8
Washington State moving past
No. 9 Ohio State and No. 10 LSU.
Alabama is a unanimous No. 1,
followed by Clemson, Notre Dame,
Michigan, and Georgia. Oklahoma
is six and West Virginia seventh.
UCF is still No. 11.
Northwestern was ranked 17th
at the end of last season, but lost
three of four to start 2018.
Northwestern lost early to Duke
and Akron and late to Notre Dame,
to become the first team in Football
Bowl Subdivision (FBS) to win a
division without winning a non-con-
ference game, according to ESPN
Stats and Info. But they are 6-1 in
Big Ten play, with only a 20-17 loss
against Michigan. Northwestern
has won four Big Ten Conference
games by four points or less, and
beat Michigan State by 10.
Northwestern is consistently
a program that lives on the edge,
playing lots of close games. Coach
Pat Fitzgerald, who is 93-69 in 13
seasons with the Wildcats, said
what has made this team different
is how it has managed adversity.
Northwestern started the sea-
son with quarterback Clayton
Thorson still being eased back
after a knee surgery. Early on the
team was without starters on the
offensive line, tight end and it lost
its most productive running back,
Jeremy Larkin, who was diagnosed
with a spine condition that required
him to quit football. Later in the sea-
son, the injury bug hit the second-
ary and linebacker Nate Hall.
Fitzgerald said having a veteran
coaching staff helped the team get
through the bumpy patches.
“We didn’t panic,” he said Sun-
day. “We just tried to do what we do,
but do it better.”

Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY: I
had bariatric
surgery
(gastric sleeve)
five months ago.
I left my previous
job because the
way I was treated
by my employer
and co-workers
changed dras-
tically after my
ZITS procedure.
I am starting a
new job soon and
do not want to tell
my new employer
or co-workers that
Dear Abby
I have had this
operation. People always treat
you differently once they know.
I don’t know anyone at the new
job, and I prefer to keep this
part of my life private.
My boyfriend thinks I
should tell at least HR, in case
any medical issues arise while
GARFIELD at work because then they
would be able to inform med-
ical personnel. I don’t think
they need to know. What do
you think, Abby? — TREATED

DEAR TREATED DIFFER-
ENTLY: Your medical history
is your own business. After
five months you should have
healed from your surgery. I’m
not sure what kind of com-
plications your
boyfriend is wor-
ried about, but if
you experience
any, the time to
report it to HR
will be when they
occur.

year, but I’d like to find a way
to be able to help.
I have offered to clean,
but my uncle insists I enjoy
myself. I’ve brought dessert,
but my aunt bakes a wonderful
cake every year. I’ve tried to
help in the kitchen, but she
gently tells me to have fun.
I’ve brought wine in previous
years, but a family member
struggles with drinking, so
out of respect for him, I won’t
continue that.
I have had a lot of health
issues over the years and
lifelong disabilities, so it has
taken me a long time to be-
come independent. I now have
my first full-time job. What’s a
way I could give to my family?
— THANKFUL IN FLORIDA
DEAR THANKFUL: A way to
do that would be to bring your
hosts a lovely flowering plant
when you arrive, or alternative-
ly, send a lovely bouquet af-
terward with a note of thanks.
And of course, you could also
offer to take them out for a
meal post-holiday.
DEAR ABBY: Our 9-year-old
son makes perfect grades in
school. His friends all have
cellphones, and I believe he
should get one also. My hus-
band disagrees and thinks he
should be a teenager first and
learn more responsibility. With
times changing so quickly and
kids getting phones at 6 and 7
years old, am I wrong or is my
husband old-fashioned in his
approach? — OLD-FASHIONED
IN THE SOUTH
DEAR OLD-FASHIONED:
Parents teach their children
to be responsible by placing
some responsibility on their
shoulders. In the current land-
scape, it’s a good idea for a
child to have the ability to com-
municate with a parent in case
of an emergency. You and your
husband could give your son a
flip phone so he can do that if
necessary.

CANDORVILLE Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov.
12). Welcome to your year of
exceptional timing. In love,
games and social fun, your im-
pulse will auspiciously align with
opportunity. More highlights this
solar return: You’ll accomplish
something you didn’t think you
could. An event will go down in
your personal history. And there
will be a windfall to help you
meet a goal. Pisces and Virgo
adore you. Your lucky numbers
BABY BLUES are: 9, 40, 21, 10 and 30.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Somewhere along this timeline,
you’re going to decide to stop
forcing yourself to do other peo-
ple’s version of fun and stick to
the version that’s all your own.
Why not now?
TAURUS (April 20-May
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
20). When hearts break, they
don’t heal all at once. In William
Shakespeare’s “Othello,” Iago
says, “How poor are they that
have not patience! What wound
did ever heal but by degrees?”
You may still feel it.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). Your life flows best when
you recognize what you need
and you give yourself those
essentials plus a pinch more for
luck. But no more than a pinch!
Because going too far past the
essentials would set you back
or get you stuck.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Setting yourself up to succeed
will involve recognizing what
and how much you can do and
seeking help for the tasks that
are likely to go beyond those
limits.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’ll step into a teaching po-
sition today. The education will
go beyond you when you choose
your pupils well. Who is likely to
pay it forward? Who with ties to
the group needs the information
most?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). The one you think of as a
hero didn’t aim for the role but
landed there quite by accident.
Having much preferred an
easier, more ordinary route, this
person found that life had other
plans. You, too, will rise to the
occasion when the time comes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Physical, mental and emotional
self-care is rooted in many
practices (e.g., eating your veg-
etables, exercising, facing your
fears) that unfortunately don’t
seem like fun at the outset but
are nurturing of your best self.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). When the situation calls
for small talk, there’s no getting
out of it, so you might as well
use it for the opportunity it is.
All conversation is a kind of
personal brochure that shows
people who you are and what
you can do for them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Part of doing the right thing
is doing it at the right time.
Arguably, part of what makes it
the right thing is that it’s right
in a certain moment. If you took
the action too far out of context,
it would no longer hold such
virtue.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Ever heard of “compassion
fatigue”? It’s the sort of burnout
that comes to those who care
for and help everyone but them-
selves, to the extent that they
become undernourished at all
levels. Don’t let it happen. Be
the priority today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). If you are to devote your-
self entirely to your challenge,
you’ll need to put on blinders
of a sort, to keep yourself from
looking back or sideways. There
is only one goal, and it is ahead.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Even in the closest of fam-
ilies, things get tricky around
money. It’s best avoided today.
This Greek proverb will steer
you well: “Eat and drink with
your relatives; do business with
strangers.”

Louisville will pay $14M buyout to Petrino after firing coach

By GARY B. GRAVES
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Lou-
isville football team’s seven-game
skid was bad enough. Worse were
the large margins of defeat and oppo-
nents’ apparent ease in lighting up the
scoreboard.
That combination spelled the end
of coach Bobby Petrino’s second
chapter with the Cardinals.
Louisville fired Petrino on Sun-
day morning with two games left in
a spiraling season that includes five
blowout losses in which the Cardinals
allowed at least 50 points.
The school announced Petrino’s
dismissal with a statement from ath-
letic director Vince Tyra, who wasn’t
confident the coach could turn things
around next season. He said a new
AUTO RACING
head coach would be chosen soon to
restore the program to national prom-
inence.
Tyra said at a news conference lat-
er that he considered a number of fac-
tors in Petrino’s status, but noted that
the three games since Louisville’s
bye showed no progress.
“It was clear the players weren’t re-
sponding,” he said. “The coaches’ and
the players’ efforts have to go in the
right direction, but I didn’t feel it was
going that way.”
Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm, a
former Louisville quarterback who
later became an assistant under Petri-
no, has frequently been mentioned
as the top candidate to replace him.
Tyra said he had “a list in mind” but
didn’t want to interfere with potential
candidates with the season still in
progress.
For now, second-year safeties
coach Lorenzo Ward, 51, would coach
Louisville on an interim basis.
Also let go were quarterbacks
coach Nick Petrino, the coach’s
son; linebackers coach Ryan Beard
and defensive line coach L.D. Scott,
Petrino’s sons-in-law; and fifth-year
director of football operations Andy
Wagner.
Louisville (2-8) lost 54-23 at No. 12
Syracuse on Friday night, dropping to
0-7 in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
Petrino, 57, departs with a 77-35
mark in two stints with Louisville,
including 36-26 since returning
in 2014. His exit will be expensive
for Louisville, which owes him $14 ACROSS

this win,” Elliott said. “We
wanted to keep our hopes
up for winning this division
and making the playoffs.”
Carson Wentz threw
two touchdown passes to
Zach Ertz, but his pass to
Ertz on fourth down fell a
yard short of a first down at
the Cowboys’ 29-yard line
with 1 minute, 9 seconds
left. The Eagles got the
ball back at their 32 with
40 seconds left and drove
to the Cowboys 32 for the
final play. Wentz complet-
ed a pass to Ertz inside the
Dallas 10. Ertz lateraled
to Golden Tate but he was
tackled for no gain to end it.
“We just didn’t execute,”
said Wentz, who was 32-for-
44 for 360 yards with one
interception. “We all got to
look in the mirror and ask
what can we do better.”
It was a defensive battle
into the third quarter be-
fore the offenses went back-
and-forth.
Elliott ran in from the 1
to give Dallas a 27-20 lead
after Prescott completed
passes of 24 yards to Amari
Cooper and 23 yards to Al-
len Hurns on the drive.
Coming off a bye, the Ea-
gles were listless in the first
half and trailed 13-3 before
rallying to tie it on Wentz’s
15-yard touchdown pass to
Ertz late in the third quar-
ter. Wentz connected with
Jordan Matthews for 18
yards on third-and-11 to ex-
tend the drive. He hit him
again for 12 yards on the
next play and found Ertz a
few plays later.
Prescott tossed a 7-yard
touchdown pass to Elliott to
give Dallas a 20-13 lead on
the ensuing possession. El-
liott accounted for 57 of the
75 yards on the drive.
But the Eagles an-
swered. Wentz hit Nelson
Agholor, who made an ex-
cellent catch for a 51-yard
gain to the Cowboys’ 8.
Wentz found Ertz in the
back of the end zone for a
1-yard touchdown pass to
tie it at 20-20.
Prescott engineered a
75-yard drive in the final
90 seconds of the first half
to send the Eagles into the
locker room to a chorus of
boos from the crowd.
Michael Gallup turned a
screen pass on third-and-15
at the Cowboys 35 into a
