Dallas Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones said his team got ‘whipped up front’ by division rival Philadelphia Eagles.

The Dallas Cowboys were beat up and down the field on Thanksgiving against the Philadelphia Eagles and as many NFL games do, it started in the trenches. The Eagles ran for over 250 yards on offense and battered Cowboys QB Tony Romo on defense. Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones even gave his old rival their due, calling it a whipping of sorts.

“Their defensive front was outstanding and really frustrated us and Romo,” Jones said after the game, via the Dallas Morning News. “I recognize both their fronts whipped our fronts.”

Those comments must have especially pained Jones to make given the lead-up to the game, in which Eagles defensive tackle Bennie Logan said he didn’t see anything special about the Cowboys vaunted offensive line, which had blocked enough holes to keep running back DeMarco Murray above 100 yards in all but one game heading into Thanksgiving.

Make that two now as Logan and the Eagles squashed the Cowboys offense and limited Murray to a season-low 73 yards of rushing.

“I just said what I had to say earlier in the week,” Logan said. “I didn’t mean for it to blow up that big. We got the W. That’s always a statement.”

The teams will go their own way next week before a rematch in Philadelphia in Week 14.
