Football fans love a good ending, but if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles or Dallas Cowboys fanatic, you probably didn’t enjoy the final moments of this game.
On Sunday, the Eagles edged out a 28-23 victory over the Cowboys at home despite a very chaotic ending. The Cowboys had multiple opportunities in the fourth quarter to take the lead, with their best chance coming with less than 50 seconds left in the game.
With 46 seconds left in the game, the Cowboys began their final drive at their 14-yard line. However, a pass interference call on James Bradberry put Dallas at midfield after just one play. Then, the Eagles committed two more penalties over the next three plays to put the Cowboys at Philadelphia’s 11-yard line.
Thankfully, if you’re an Eagles fan, the defense was able to hold out due to a sack and a Dak Prescott delay of game penalty that backed the Cowboys up to the 27 before Philadelphia was able to make the final tackle to end the game.

A chaotic ending for sure, but one that absolutely was not fun for Eagles or Cowboys fans. Here’s how fans of both teams reacted to the wild ending between these two teams.

Every Eagles fan just had seven heart attacks in a 2-minute span.
8-1.

That was probably an entertaining game for all non-Eagles, non-Cowboys fans.

Cowboys were simply unable to beat both the refs and the Eagles today
Two great opponents was too much to overcome
