When meeting with the media, Peters was asked about the Philadelphia fan base and their approach to NFL’s most intense rivalry.

The future Hall of Famer said, “Philly fans pride themselves on being nasty,” referring to the intense views that come with Dallas week.

The Cowboys signed the veteran offensive lineman after starting left tackle Tyron Smith had surgery to repair a torn hamstring.

A veteran who spent 12 years with Philadelphia, Peters had played 35 snaps at left guard as part of the rotation in Dallas before suffering his injury.
