Eagles
It's no secret that the Cowboys and Eagles have hate towards each other. It all started in 1980 when the Cowboys lost the NFC Championship to the Eagles. A rivalry that goes back and forth. Eagles kicked the Cowboys out from having a playoff spot in 2008, but the Cowboys came back in 2010 to defeat the Eagles in the wildcard round. The main reason they are rivals is because they are in the same division and are always competing for the division title.

Redskins
This rivalry has been going on since the Cowboys originated in the 1960's. Redskins former coach George Allen made sure that his boys hated the Cowboys and since then there have been many competitive games between the two. This rivalry has gone down in history, games full of suspense and grit. Any Cowboy fan knows that they are supposed to hate the Redskins. This rivalry is like tradition, it is a huge deal.

giants
Last but not least, the rivalry with the New York Giants. They are rivals because they are also in the same division. Some shady comments have been said from both teams which is much more of a reason to hate them. Many memorable games have been played between these two teams. Cowboys fans will never forget the season that got away in 2007 when they had a record of 13-3 but lost the divisional round to the Giants. The Giants and Cowboys always play the season opener which is super important.
