3 Biggest Blowout Wins for the Eagles Over the Cowboys

Divisional games in the NFL tend to be more interesting than others, since divisional teams play each other at least two times every season. It often seems as though teams' records do no matter heading into these matchups, and any game could be close or turn into a random blowout. In the case for the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, there have been a number of blowouts in their rivalry's history.

These are the three biggest blowout wins for the Eagles over the Cowboys.
