The city of “brotherly love” was a less-than-cordial host to the venturing drifter Cowboys that sauntered into town from ne’er-do-well-ville, but ironically, Philadelphia - oft known for the opposite of hospitality when visiting foes enter its vicinities - was one of the more inviting proprietors Dallas has dined with all season.
Through Sunday night’s first half, Philly was as accommodating as a travel company, allowing the ‘Boys to amass dozens of frequent flyer miles through both the ground and in the air, and even shamelessly allowing them to take a lead into the halftime break.
Their good intentions quickly wore off at the second half’s onset though, and Philly never looked back, capitalizing on QB Ben DiNucci’s inexperience to hang glide their way to a comfortable 23-9 victory.
