Watching all of the game coverage gives you a good glimpse into this rivalry, which dates back to the 1960s. Dallas has the overall edge in the all-time series and has enjoyed a lot of recent success. However, the Eagles have had better overall success of late compared to Dallas where it counts the most. Where does it count? It counts in recent playoff wins and Super Bowl titles.

The Pre-Game Social Media Hype

Tossing aside the individual franchise history of these two teams, the two head-to-head matchups every year are always highly anticipated. Take a look at social media in the days leading up to these games. The memes are strong on both sides, the comments sections are often riddled with inappropriate, yet hilarious statements, and videos of superfans are rampant.

Every divisional game is a tough one in the NFC East and the same goes for most of the other divisions in the NFL each year. However, when two NFC East teams clash, you are treated to some of the best football that week.

Look at how well the Washington Commanders played in their two games against the Eagles this year. Statistically they are not that good of a team. They have a ton of trouble protecting quarterback Sam Howell, but they sure did a good job of it in both games against the Eagles.

Of all the NFC East teams this season, the New York Giants might be the only team to go winless in the division. Even though it seems like players perform at higher levels when playing against division rivals, the Giants just do not have enough talent on their roster or on their coaching staff to compete in the East this year.

Even the Players Get Hyped for the Eagles vs. Cowboys Rivalry

As one might expect, the players get just as heated in the Eagles vs. Cowboys rivalry as the fans do every year. Eagles center Jason Kelce went off last night in the face of a Cowboys player (see video below).

Following the game, Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham was sporting a Dallas Cowboys hat with a “no” symbol over the Dallas Star.

Where Does the Eagles vs. Cowboys Rivalry Stand?

I am obviously biased as an Eagles fan, but it seems like the Eagles vs. Cowboys rivalry is the best in the NFL right now. No other rivalry in the NFC East comes close. No other rivalry in the NFC comes close. The NFC South is not what it used to be. Green Bay Packers – Chicago Bears is not what it used to be with the changing of the guard at quarterback in Green Bay.

In previous years you might be able to argue for New England Patriots – New York Jets or New England Patriots – Miami Dolphins, but New England is now 2-7 this year and it looks like head coach Bill Belichick might be headed to the unemployment line sooner rather than later.

Simply based on the pulse of the fans, the Eagles vs. Cowboys rivalry is tops in the NFL right now. Both teams’ fanbases travel well, especially the Eagles, so you always see Dallas silver in Lincoln Financial Field and Eagles green in AT&T Stadium.

Who is your favorite NFL team? Do you think they have the best rivalry in the NFL? Do you agree that Eagles – Cowboys is the best NFL rivalry right now? Let’s talk about it in the comments section.

The Jimmy V Archives will aim to be a daily blog of just about anything that comes to mind: sports rants, book reviews, stories about Tony and Enzo, life with a basset hound, marriage, my diabetic journey and much more.

The Jimmy V Archives is not my first foray into blogging. You can find my baseball work on At the Dish, my stories about fatherhood at Life With Tony and Enzo, and my news content at Cinn City News.

As someone who writes professionally, it is difficult to find the time to write for pleasure. Keeping up with my personal blogs and websites is never easy. Paying the bills has to come first, so focusing on client work has always gotten in the way, so to speak, of my personal blogging.

With The Jimmy V Archives, I hope to be able to publish at least one story per day to not only keep my writing skills fresh, but also have an archive of stories I can look back on later in life.

As you might have noticed, I moved three stories to this blog from a different publishing platform about my diabetic journey so far:

• My Diabetic Journey Two Years Later
• One Year Later: 30 Pounds Lighter and a Whole Lot Smarter
• A Trip to the ER is Changing My Life

I am hoping to spark a conversation on all of my posts, so be sure to leave a comment, whether you agree with me or not. Positive discourse is the cornerstone to a thriving blog and The Jimmy V Archives will not shy away from such. However, I do ask that you be polite and keep your comments clean or they will be deleted.

So, with that said, it is time to go on a fantastic journey into The Jimmy V Archives as we file this first post under Random Rants.
