In Week 17, Jerry Jones‘ Dallas Cowboys faced the Philadelphia Eagles in a matchup featuring backup quarterbacks. Cooper Rush started for the Cowboys, while Kenny Pickett stepped in for Jalen Hurts, who remained sidelined due to a concussion.
The game began with promise, but Dallas faltered with four turnovers and a poor cornerback performance from Andrew Booth, culminating in a 41-7 defeat. The loss secured the NFC East title for Philadelphia, extending the division’s streak without a repeat champion into 2025.
Eagles fans undoubtedly take great pleasure in seeing the Cowboys struggle. Following Dallas’s success last season, their decline this year has been a source of satisfaction, especially as the Cowboys are set to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
Before the Cowboys’ Week 17 matchup against the Eagles, Jerry Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan to discuss the team. During the interview, he recounted an intriguing encounter with an Eagles fan earlier in the day. The Eagles fan intended to roast Jerry Jones, but Jones seems to be oblivious about it.

Jerry Jones has been the focal point of the hatred and fans’ angst. The owner and general manager received the heat with his offseason handling – failing to recruit free agents and the drama revolving around CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott, and Micah Parsons. Jones, 82, also fell into controversies revolving around the helicopter landings and his dietary choices.

Jerry Jones endured a particularly miserable Sunday. Not only did his Cowboys suffer a crushing defeat to the Eagles., but he also faced relentless heckling from Philadelphia fans throughout the uneven loss.
Videos captured by spectators at Lincoln Financial Field during the Eagles’ 41-7 rout of Dallas show just how fiercely the Birds’ supporters taunted the Cowboys’ owner.
Eagles fans enthusiastically chanted “Dallas sucks!” throughout the game, relentlessly heckling Jerry Jones at every opportunity.

DALLAS SUCKS, GO BIRDS 😭🦅

The Dallas Cowboys impaired to 7-9 after winning bunch of games in a row to claim some ground. Nevertheless, they had been eliminated from playoff contention before the Eagles game itself. In the coming year, Jones will be on the hunt for the next coach and invest in some noise cancelling headphones and plexiglass to save himself from more jeering in road games.
