PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Lito Sheppard returned an interception 102 yards for a touchdown with 16 seconds left to play, leading the Philadelphia Eagles past Dallas, 38-24.

It was the second time in the fourth quarter that Sheppard ended a Dallas drive with a pick.

Quarterback Donovan McNabb completed 18-of-33 passes for 354 yards and two touchdowns, and also scored a rushing touchdown for the Eagles (4-1), who have won three straight and sit in first place in the NFL East.

The game was a showdown between McNabb and former teammate Terrell Owens, who finished with just three catches for 45 yards for the Cowboys (2-2), who had a two-game winning streak snapped.

Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett caught three passes for 112 yards, including an 87-yard TD reception. Reggie Brown caught four passes for 79 yards with a TD, while the Eagles defense had seven sacks -- three by Darwin Walker.

Drew Bledsoe completed just 18-of-38 passes for 223 yards and three interceptions, and rushed for 24 yards and one touchdown. Terry Glenn had five catches for 61 yards and Julius Jones rushed for 100 yards on 26 carries.
