The vibes are back for Philly, and were on full display during their 34-6 win in Dallas.
Jalen Hurts was smiling, the defense was dancing, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson was singing a song about Cooper DeJean locking up CeeDee Lamb. The vibes are back for the Eagles and were on full display during their big win Sunday over the Cowboys.
It was the first time the Eagles have won in Dallas since 2017, and things started off with a fiery speech from LG Landon Dickerson. Nothing gets the blood pumping quite like a “F*** the Cowboys on three.”

The offensive and defensive lines had great games on Sunday, but the secondary was playing lights out — although the sun helped them a bit because Jerry Jones doesn’t understand what home-field advantage means. C.J. Gardner-Johnson ran a long way to celebrate Zack Baun’s takeaway with his teammates, and made sure Dallas knew there was a new sheriff in town. (Also, Quinton Mitchell is hilarious.)

When CJGJ wasn’t celebrating on the field, he was gassing up his teammates on the sideline. The veteran, who is also a rapper, put together a nice little tune about rookie Cooper DeJean.

All of these things might be small individually, but together they paint a picture of a team that has a strong bond on and off the field. Playing football should be fun, and winning certainly makes it more enjoyable, but that energy definitely translates into tangible results.
As the Eagles get ready for a Thursday night game against the Commanders, hopefully they keep this momentum and gain an extra lead in the NFC East with a win over Washington.
