The Eagles and Cowboys, of course, have a storied rivalry. On Sunday, the two teams will face off in South Philadelphia once again, this time the winner will earn the all important division lead entering the final week of the season.
Jerry Jones, 77, who has been the owner of the Cowboys since 1989, spoke about traveling to Philly to face the Eagles.
"I'll never forget, if you will," Jones said on 105.7 The Fan in Dallas. "I went down on the field when Michael Irvin couldn't move and really, they got a bad rap that day. Some of them did not understand that he was seriously hurt. We got an ambulance right out on that field and took him over to the hospital, I'll never forget. I was driving along, I had his wife Cindy on the phone and we were talking and Michael couldn't move a muscle. And we were in the ambulance as we drove over to the—and I looked down and he was doing his fingers and moving them. I said, 'Cindy he's moving, baby.' I said, 'He's moving!' And he gradually regained some of his ability to move.
"But where I'm going with that is, there is a lot of wonderful some 30 years, frankly, of emotion and thoughts that I have when I think of going up to play a football game in Philadelphia."
The Eagles and Cowboys have faced each other 121 times. Dallas leads the all-time series, 69-52.
Six times these teams have met in December within one-game of each other or with the playoffs on the line. The Eagles have come away with the victory in four of those matchups.
