This week 1 rivalry game between the NFC East teams is one of the biggest ones in the sport.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nfl\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Eagles<\/a> will come into this game as the defending Super Bowl champions, playing in front of their fans for the first time since hoisting the Lombardi Trophy back in February. The Cowboys, on the other hand, have much to prove after last season&rsquo;s dismal performance, which saw them miss the playoffs.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The season may be just starting now, but the stakes are already high. Divisional opponents have much more on the line, as winning the division means automatic entry into the postseason.

Since then, this rivalry has transcended into an intense battle with the two teams having met over 130 times.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Despite the Eagles being a part of the league since 1933, the Dallas Cowboys franchise was only established in 1960, but even then, the team was not part of the Eastern Conference in their first season.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are the Cowboys and Eagles Rivals?<\/h2><p>There are a couple of key reasons for this rivalry turning out the way it has. One of them is not even due to the players or personnel of the teams, but rather due to the fans.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Eagles are known to have some of the most hardcore fans, and that fanbase is pretty much hated by every other franchise. Add the fact that these two teams see each other a minimum of two times each season, and it&rsquo;s a recipe for blood to boil.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">IT'S GAMEDAY!

The Eagles were on a downward trend, while the Cowboys were on the rise. Over the years, Dallas achieved far more success, going on to lift two Super Bowls before Philadelphia could even appear in one.&nbsp;<\/p><p>From the early to mid-90s, Dallas went on a strong run, grabbing three Super Bowls in a span of just four years, while the Eagles hadn&rsquo;t made it back to the big game. It is this resentment toward the Cowboys as they went on to achieve plenty of success after joining the Eagles division that led to the rivalry growing rapidly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A new documentary on Saquon Barkley is set to premiere on Oct. 9th &mdash; the day the Eagles travel to play the Giants <br><br>Looks like it is years of footage and interviews: <br><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/35ZtbL83Gf\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/35ZtbL83Gf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EliotShorrParks\/status\/1963226634040868983?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cowboys vs Eagles Head-to-Head Record for Regular Season<\/h2><p>The Cowboys and the Eagles have met each other 128 times in the regular season.
