3: The number of times since October 28, 1990 (when a 3-4 Cowboys team went up against a 2-4 Rich Kotite coached squad) that the Eagles and Cowboys have faced off with each team sporting a losing record. Two of those matchups were in 2012, as a Dallas team hovering just under .500 twice played a Philly team mired in the midst of an eight-game losing streak. The third time was last night.
For a rivalry that has featured snowballs thrown at coaches, revenge games, bounties on kickers, and playoff eliminations, last night's affair marks one of the low points.
