The Dallas Cowboys enter the game with a 4-5-1 record. The Eagles lead the NFC at 8-2 and are looking to win their second straight Super Bowl and third since 2017. Sunday’s game will be played in Dallas after the Eagles won the previous meeting between the two teams in Philadelphia in Thursday night’s NFL season opener.

Eagles fans have developed a controversial reputation for abrasive behavior over the years.

After the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory in February, footage captured by FreedomNewsTV reportedly showed a mob looting a laundry truck and throwing towels into the air. Police responded to a fire when a pile of laundry caught fire.

In another clip, two individuals knocked over a lamp post. Once the pole hit the ground, a crowd rushed around it and began to break it with their feet. Then, members of the crowd picked up the pole and began carrying it through downtown.

In January, Eagles fans were put under a national microscope after one of their own, Ryan Caldwellverbally assaulted a Green Bay Packers fan in viral footage during the team’s wild-card playoff game.

Former Dallas Cowboys player DeMarcus Ware, who played a game in Philadelphia every year during his career in Dallas from 2005 to 2013, told Fox News Digital that he once saw Eagles fans throw projectiles at his mother, Brenda Ann Ware, during a game his rookie year in 2005.

“My rookie season, when my mom was in the stands, I told her not to wear my jersey, and she was in the front row. And we’re up there in Philadelphia, they were putting batteries in snowballs and throwing them and one of them hit my mom,” Ware said.

Seeing his mother get pinned by a snow-covered battery almost prompted Ware to abandon his football duties and run into the stands to start a fight.

“I turned around at that point and I wasn’t interested in football anymore. I wanted to go get the guy that was in the stands. But I didn’t,” Ware said.

In 2018, an Eagles fan was arrested during an NFC divisional playoff game against the Falcons for hitting a Philadelphia police horse.

According to a police report from the time, a man was expelled because “he was intoxicated and did not have a ticket.” After being ejected from Lincoln Financial Field, the man walked toward a police officer mounted on a horse and “began punching the horse in the face, neck and shoulders.”

After the Eagles won the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots that same year, several violent riots broke out in the city. Looting and destruction were reported at several convenience stores and a Macy’s department store. Cars were overturned and traffic lights and lamp posts were torn down.

One of the most famous examples of unruly behavior by Eagles fans occurred in 1968, when a man dressed as Santa Claus entered the field. He was booed relentlessly by fans unhappy with a disappointing season, and he was hit with snowballs like Ware’s mother.

In 1997, during a Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers, a mischievous Eagles fan fired a flare gun into the stands filled with other fans, endangering several lives.

After the flare was fired, several fist fights broke out around the stadium and most of the violence was directed at 49ers fans by Eagles fans.

“There were a large number of fights and acts of intimidation, many directed at fans wearing 49ers jerseys,” the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote at the time.

After the game, Eagles owner Jeffrie Lurie condemned his own fans.

“While we believe we have made significant progress in recent years regarding fan behavior at Veterans Stadium, what we witnessed last Monday was undoubtedly a step backwards,” Lurie told reporters at the time.
