A collection of articles and blog posts concerning the Dallas Cowboys rivals and their biggest and most significant rivals from the past and present.
The Dallas Cowboys have been one of the more successful franchises in the NFL since their inception in 1960. In most of the all-time series between franchises, the Cowboys tend to be on the winning end. That said, there have been more than a few formidable opponents that have gotten the better of the Dallas Cowboys for brief periods in time. The 49ers, the Steelers, the Packers and some of…
Rivalries in sports are not what they used to be. Players do not typically stay with one team long enough to establish a sufficient hatred for an opposing team which typically consists of players that are their former teammates, college buddies or offseason acquaintances. It seems as though the biggest rivalries in sports currently exist between individual players rather than teams. Brady and Manning, Josh Norman and Odell Beckham…
Is there anything more annoying than hearing Eagles fans squawk? Probably not, and I have had to endure more than my fair share of it during Philadelphia’s unlikely run to the Super Bowl this year. As a Cowboy fan, I hate a lot of teams, but none more than the Eagles. Not the Steelers, not the Patriots, not the Giants and not even the Redskins. To me, Philly is public…
On Sunday night two hated rivals, the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, will go head to head in a crucial NFC East division battle.

The bad news is two-fold, the Eagles are hot right now and the Cowboys remaining schedule is tough. Here…
The Cowboys were fortunate enough to travel to Washington and a face their age old rival Redskins on a short week and riddled with injuries. Kirk Cousins is a difficult matchup for Dallas’ young secondary but with his offensive line decimated with injuries, and poor weather conditions, the Cowboys were able to stifle the Redskins offense. That was a much needed division win on the road and the Cowboys came…
Why Can’t the Cowboys Beat Aaron Rodgers? It could be that Aaron Rodgers is just that good. And, he is good. He is the NFL’s all-time leader in passer rating and by a large margin. [1] Better than Tom Brady, Joe Montana and every other quarterback past and present. He is also the all-time leader in touchdown to interception ratio.[2] He is a stone cold killer, who is quality in…
The excitement is mounting after the Cowboys dominated the New York Giants in their season opener on Sunday Night. While there is a lot to be excited about, in the NFL expectations must always be tempered. Week 1 is always full of surprises and football fans never fail to overreact after one game. The Patriots blowout loss to the Chiefs on opening night should serve as a reminder to us…
