Top 10 most memorable moments in the history of the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry
are set to take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday at AT&T Stadium, continuing the historic rivalry with another late-season game with postseason implications.
Late in the 1999 season, the Eagles sent rookie QB Donovan McNabb out against Dallas for the fifth start of his young career. He’d go 7-17 for just 49 yards in a 20-10 loss.McNabb went 9-1 against the Cowboys between 2000-04, and that doesn’t tell the whole story: Among those eight wins were scores of 41-14, 40-18, 36-3, 44-13, and 49-21 in favor of Philadelphia.
Instead the Cowboys trailed 27-3 at halftime and finished the year with one of the worst losses in franchise history, by significance or by margin of defeat or by whatever other measuring stick can be used. A 44-6 final ended the Cowboys’ season.8. 1980 NFC Championship The Blues struck again. Dallas was shut out in the second half as Danny White and the Cowboys fell 20-7 to Ron Jaworski and the Eagles. It’s the only time Philly has beaten Dallas in the playoffs.
With the score tied 17-17 and just over two minutes remaining, Dallas faced a 4th-and-1 at its own 29 yard-line. Switzer, in a move that surprised pretty much everyone watching, opted to go for it. Troy Aikman handed off to Emmitt Smith, who dove for the first-down line and was stuffed. Luckily for Switzer and the Cowboys, the clock had struck 2:00 just before the snap, ruling the play moot thanks to the two-minute warning.
Irvin was driven head-first into the turf after a short reception and remained motionless for several minutes afterward before eventually being stretchered off the field. He would later learn that a narrowing of the spinal column made it too dangerous for him to continue his career.“It was a compliment for Philly to cheer me,” Irvin said. “Philly wasn’t cheering my injury. They were cheering my departure. ‘Thank God he’s leaving the field, he’s been killing us.
