The Philadelphia Eagles fell behind the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7 Monday Night Football action as Nick Sirianni's team lost a receiver to an injury. Vic Fangio's defense attempted to pick up the Saquon Barkley-led offense but gave up a pair of touchdowns to star wideouts CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Lamb's touchdown came in the back-right corner of the end zone against Eagles DB Cooper DeJean, a play that shed light on a troubling statistical trend.

DeJean has allowed four receiving touchdowns on 40 targets this season after allowing one touchdown on 125 targets in the 2024 and 2025 seasons combined. NFL legend Peyton Manning rubbed salt in DeJean's wound after Lamb's touchdown as he described what happened.

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Cooper DeJean has allowed 4 Rec TD on 40 targets this season after allowing 1 Rec TD on 125 targets in the 2024 and 2025 seasons combined. 😬 https://t.co/fSFHq8RS59
