Philadelphia Eagles
10 Eagles players who crushed the Dallas Cowboys
Legends are made when the Eagles play the Cowboys. There’s something special about the two games per year when these long-time rivals clash, and sometimes it doesn’t even matter what you do the rest of the year as long as you shine against Dallas.
With Eagles-Cowboys coming up Sunday night at the Linc, we hit the archives to find the Eagles’ 10 greatest Cowboys killers.
It wasn’t easy to narrow it down, but the 10 we selected - listed here in alphabetical order - all enjoyed tremendous success over the years against the Eagles’ biggest enemy.
Honorable mentions go to Zach Ertz (63 catches, most ever by an opposing tight end), Brent Celek (51 catches, 4th-most by a TE), Pete Retzlaff (19.8 yards per catch, 5th-highest vs. Dallas), Lito Sheppard (7 INTs, 2 100-yard pick 6’s), Donovan McNabb (26 TDs, 5th-most), Jeremiah Trotter (2 pick 6’s), Clyde Simmons (13 1/2 sacks, 5th-most) and Randall Cunningham (7.4 rushing average, highest ever).
