The Cowboys' win over the Eagles in the 1995 NFC Divisional playoffs currently marks Dallas' last appearances in both the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl.
Dallas eventually advanced to, and won, the Super Bowl in both seasons. Three years later, the Cowboys bounced the Eagles from the divisional round of the playoffs a second time, winning 30–11. However, later that year, Dallas ousted Philadelphia from the divisional round in a 34–10 rout at Texas Stadium. En route to a 31–7 win, the Eagles' number one-ranked defense held the Cowboys' offense to one first-quarter touchdown. 1992–1995 – The Eagles started the 1992 season 5–0 and met the undefeated Cowboys on Monday Night Football.The loss eliminated the Eagles from the playoff picture. The Cowboys benefited from Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham being injured and rode a Kelvin Martin punt return for a touchdown to a 25–13 victory. Meanwhile, riding a three-game winning streak, Dallas entered Veterans Stadium in Week 16 with a chance at a playoff berth. During that game, the Eagles set a record with 11 sacks of Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman. 1991 regular season – The Eagles began the 1991 season by defeating the Cowboys 24–0 in Dallas in Week 3.Word of the incident spread in Dallas, and hatred by Cowboys fans was so fevered towards Ryan that former Cowboys' president Tex Schramm dubbed the pending game on October 28 the "Porkchop Bowl." When the game began, Cowboys fans tossed pork chops and similar simulated meat products from the stands toward the Eagles bench. Plumb quickly initiated the Heimlich maneuver and saved Ryan's life. Ryan was dining on pork chops and started to choke. The week before game day in Dallas, Philadelphia head coach Buddy Ryan and Ted Plumb, his offensive coordinator were out for dinner. In October 1990, the Eagles and Cowboys met for what became known as the "Porkchop Bowl".The Eagles won both Bounty Bowl games 27–0 in Dallas and 20–10 in Philadelphia. Several game participants were targeted, including back judge Al Jury and Cowboys punter Mike Saxon (both struck by snowballs), as well as Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson, who was hit with objects as he was escorted off the field by the Philadelphia Police Department. In the second game at Veterans Stadium, Eagles fans threw snowballs, ice, and beer onto the field. The Bounty Bowls (I and II) and – The two 1989 meetings were nicknamed the Bounty Bowls, due to the accusation by Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson that the Eagles had set a bounty on Dallas players, particularly quarterback Troy Aikman and kicker Luis Zendejas.With the Eagles at the one, a final touchdown made the score 37–20. With little time remaining and the Eagles up by ten, Randall Cunningham faked a kneel down and tossed a long pass into the end zone, resulting in a pass interference call. Buddy Ryan accused Tom Landry of running up the score (something Buddy Ryan had accused him of before), and Ryan had his heart set on revenge. The 1987 NFL season – With many of the Cowboys players crossing the picket line during the strike, Dallas humiliated the replacement-laden Eagles 41–22.To the cheers of a roaring Veterans Stadium crowd, the Eagles defeated the Cowboys 20–7. Following 14-point deficits overcome by both teams in their respective Divisional playoff victories lead up to the 1980 NFC Championship Game, which was also called the "Blue Jersey Game", on the account that the Eagles, having the choice as the home team, made the Cowboys wear their seemingly cursed blue jerseys (a stigma that dated back to Super Bowl V). 1980 NFC Championship Game, Janu– After losing to the Cowboys in all but 3 games from 1967–1979, the Eagles finished first in the NFC East in 1980 due to tie-breaking procedures (both teams 12–4 and splitting the meetings between each other, but the Eagles scored more points) and claimed the division, missed out on the #1 seed in the NFC (the latter proved inconsequential due to seeding restrictions and Dallas defeating Atlanta).The Eagles were on a three-game losing streak when they went to Dallas for the Monday Night Football game and things did not look promising when quarterback Ron Jaworski was knocked out, but back-up John Walton threw a touchdown pass to Charlie Smith and Franklin kicked the long field goal that Landry said took the juice out right before the half. On November 12, 1979, Tony Franklin kicked what was then the longest field goal in Eagles history, 59 yards, to help the Eagles win their first-ever game at Texas Stadium, 31–21 (the kick has since been bettered by Jake Elliott's 61-yard kick in 2017).A customized DeSean Jackson jersey being worn by an Eagles fan, with "Dallas sucks" instead in the nameplate area, at a 2019 home game at Lincoln Financial Field.
