the competition with philadelphia has been particularly intense since the late 1970s, when the long-moribund eagles returned to contention. in january 1981, the two teams faced off in the nfc championship, with philadelphia winning 20–7. a series of other factors heightened tensions during the 1980s and 1990s, including several provocative actions by philadelphia fans and eagles head coach buddy ryan. among these were the 1989 "bounty bowls", in which ryan allegedly placed a bounty on dallas kicker luis zendejas and veterans stadium fans pelted the cowboys with snowballs and other debris. a 1999 game at philadelphia saw eagles fans cheering as michael irvin lay motionless and possibly paralyzed on the field. in 2008 the rivalry became more intense when in the last game of the year in which both teams could clinch a playoff spot with a victory, the philadelphia eagles defeated the cowboys 44–6. the following season, the cowboys avenged that defeat by beating the eagles three times: twice during the regular season to claim the title as nfc east champions and once more in a wild-card playoff game by a combined score of 78–30, including a 24–0 shutout in week 17. that three-game sweep was dallas' first over any opponent and the longest winning streak against the eagles since 1992–1995 when dallas won seven straight matches against philadelphia. during the 2013 season dallas won the first meeting 17–3 at lincoln financial field in philadelphia. they would meet again in week 17 at at&t stadium with the winner clinching the 2013 nfc east title. the cowboys came into the game at a disadvantage with starting quarterback tony romo out with a season ending back injury which put backup kyle orton as the starter. it was a tight game with the eagles up 24–22 with less than 2 minutes to go in regulation. orton got the ball and started driving down the field when he was intercepted by the eagles defense, which ended the game and the cowboys season. in 2014, the cowboys and eagles both won against each other on the road, with philadelphia posting a dominant 33–10 win on thanksgiving day in dallas, and dallas returning the favor two weeks later by defeating the eagles 38–27 in philadelphia. the second game between these rivals clenched a playoff spot for dallas and led to formerly first place philadelphia missing out on the post-season. dallas leads the regular season all-time series 63–50.
