Sunday night was the highest-demand Cowboys game of the season, as Dallas squared off with NFC East rival Philadelphia. Tickets for standing-room only were going into the $100-$200 range.
The Cowboys blew out the Eagles, winning 33-13 to move into first place in the division.
The AT&T Stadium crowd was unsurprisingly rowdy for primetime matchup, though no major incidents were reported.
Arlington police said they responded to 90 calls for service in and around the stadium during the game, from parking violations to disturbances and fights. Most of those calls did not result in official reports or arrests; two arrests were made for public intoxication and one other person was arrested for having outstanding warrants.
