Cowboys and Eagles: it’s one of the most notorious rivalries in the NFL. While Washington and New York are both natural rivals as well, with plenty of memorable games between them, there’s just something different about Philly. The intensity between the fans is almost unmatched, likely due to the volatile combination of Cowboys fans’ braggadocious “Five rings/everything’s bigger in Texas” attitude and the Eagles fans’ penchant for hating anybody, even Santa Claus.
They say familiarity breeds contempt, and that explains the palpable dislike between these two teams: at 120 total games, the Eagles are tied with Washington for most games played against the Cowboys.
