The Dallas Cowboys had some fun at Nick Sirianni’s expense after they defeated his Philadelphia Eagles handily on Monday night.
Sirianni has bought into the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry and then some, wearing a ‘Beat Dallas’ t-shirt to Wednesday’s media session. Jerry Jones noticed Sirianni’s antics, and said game on.
Because Sirianni was so vocal in his hatred for the Cowboys, you knew Dallas’ social media manager was going to have a little fun at his expense.
The Cowboys won, 41-21, on Monday Night Football, and at times the game didn’t even feel THAT close. Dallas moved the ball with ease and Jalen Hurts never got going offensively.
So, how do the Cowboys celebrate their second win over Philly, and first over Sirianni? How about an epic Twitter burn.
Dallas Cowboys get last laugh against Eagles
Despite a quiet night from Amari Cooper, the rest of the Cowboys offense delivered a major performance. Dak Prescott threw for three touchdowns, while Ezekiel Elliott ran for a pair himself, and 95 yards rushing, separating himself from Tony Pollard.
Meanwhile, Trevon Diggs picked off Hurts and took it back to the house. Dan Quinn’s defense looked capable once again, and the Cowboys are clearly the most capable team in the NFC East.
What that means in arguably the worst division in sports, however, remains to be seen.
