f.Cowboys Legend Troy Aikman Urges NFL to Investigate Referees After Eagles’ Controversial Loss: “They Got Robbed, and the League Can’t Ignore This.f
In the aftermath of the Philadelphia Eagles’ controversial 24–27 loss to the Denver Broncos, NFL legend and Cowboys icon Troy Aikman has delivered one of the strongest takes of the weekend — defending the integrity of the game and calling out the officiating that decided it.
“No one wanted the Eagles to lose more than I did, but not like this,” Aikman said during the postgame broadcast. “The Eagles got robbed, and everyone who watched that game knows it. Those calls weren’t just wrong — they stole what this team fought for.”
His statement came after a wave of outrage from fans on X (formerly Twitter), where hashtags like #EaglesRobbed, #NFLRefs, and #FlyEaglesFly trended overnight. Users accused referees of “manipulating” crucial moments that shifted momentum late in the game.

Still, fan-recorded and highlight clips have fueled the fire:
