The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for a crucial matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, and even before kickoff, fans of America’s Team are expressing frustration with the officiating.
As Dallas (9-3) trails Philadelphia (10-2) by one game in the NFC East, and with the potential for a three-way tie in the NFC with a victory and a San Francisco 49ers’ loss, tensions are high.
A notable stat shared by the @PHLEaglesNation Twitter account highlights that the Eagles are 7-0 in games officiated by John Hussey, the head referee for the upcoming game.
With the pivotal prime-time clash still a day away, a significant portion of Cowboys fans seems to be preemptively preparing for potential disappointment, expressing discontent with Hussey’s assignment.
While acknowledging that officials can impact the outcome of a game, the ultimate result will unfold on the field come game day.
Cowboys fans ideally shouldn’t feel the need for preconceived excuses ahead of a crucial game. However, in the age of the internet, such sentiments are inevitable and often part of the discourse leading up to significant matchups.
