Cowboys vs Eagles recap: Social media reaction to major blowout loss
It was the final road game this season for the Dallas Cowboys, facing divisional rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles came into the game flying high and playoff bound, where Dallas was already out of contention and the end of the regular season will end their 2024 campaign. The game was a massive blowout and here’s what social media had to say during the game.
Cowboys got out on offense to start the game and Cooper Rush threw a pick-six.
It’s a 69-yard interception return for a score by C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

Jalen Tolbert scoring again, that’s now three consecutive weeks for the wideout that was raising questions less than a month ago#DallasCowboys

Cowboys defense held in the first quarter.
Eagles fans booing at the decision to punt instead of attempt the 4th and 1 conversion.
Eagles go three and out on their first two series. Nice showing early from the defense.

It was all square after the first quarter.
First downs through one quarter of football…

DeVonta Smith got wide open in the corner for the touchdown. The Eagles would take the lead.

Booth is not good except for tackling

It’s been a down season for Jake Ferguson and he added to those questions with a fumble.
Need a LOT more out of Jake Ferguson.
Just not a good year from him.

Andrew Booth got beat again for a huge play.
Disastrous ending of the half. Andrew Booth beat by DeVonta Smith for a 49-yard gain two plays after Rush’s pick.

The play led to a “Tush Push” on the one-yard line.
DeVonta Smith burns Andrew Booth Jr. again for a huge gain of 49 yards, setting up a Kenny Pickett tush push for another Eagles touchdown.
Booth might need to get switched out at half.
Eagles 24, Cowboys 7

Micah Parsons hit Kenny Pickett hard on a play in the third quarter.
Third-string quarterback Tanner McKee threw a touchdown to A.J. Brown to extend the score.
The Cowboys secondary has been up against it a ton this season.
The dam is breaking today.

Now Tanner McKee is throwing seeds for touchdowns. Great throw to A.J. Brown. Eagles up, 34-7, with 2:44 left in the third quarter.
— Todd Archer (@toddarcher) December 29, 2024
With very little on the line as the third quarter ended, some people asked about trying other players.
#Cowboys are down 27 at the end of the 3rd QTR, and Cooper Rush is still in at QB. At this point, we’ll never see what Trey Lance’s got. Wouldn’t shock me tho if the Joneses are doing this on purpose so that they can re-sign him on the cheap.#DallasCowboys #CowboysNation

To add to the problems, Rico Dowdle fumbles the ball and turns it over.
Well it was real, it wasn’t wasn’t fun. It wasn’t real fun. A real promising start turned into this. See yall next week for our final Cowboys game until September.
— Jess Nevarez (@JessNevarez_) December 29, 2024
Then it was another touchdown by Philadelphia.
Saquon Barkley hit the 2,000 yard benchmark. Rico Dowdle also made Cowboys history.
In a day in which Saquon Barkley hit 2,000 rushing yards, Rico Dowdle just became the first undrafted RB in Cowboys’ history to reach 1,000 yards in a season.

Brandon Aubrey hit the post on a 61-yard field goal try. It definitely had the legs.

Perfect cap on the day

A fight broke out and players got ejected.
Cowboys WR Jalen Brooks, Cowboys DB Troy Pride and Eagles S Sydney Brown have all been disqualified following a post-play skirmish.

The NFC East streak continues.
With the Philadelphia Eagles winning the NFC East, the streak continues.
It has been 20 years since a repeat winner at the top of the NFC East (Eagles 2003-2004).
For the majority of my life, this division has been nonstop nonsense.#DallasCowboys
