There’s no love lost between Eagles and Cowboys fans. Shortly after today’s Eagles-Cowboys game, it was reported that the Philadelphia Eagles believe that their franchise QB,Carson Wentz, suffered a torn ACL and is likely out for the season.

The Philadelphia Eagles are concerned that quarterback Carson Wentz tore his left ACL, sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Wentz was seen walking inside the locker room with a heavy black brace on his left knee. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI tomorrow in Philadelphia.
Wentz exited the Eagles’ 43-35 win against Los Angeles Rams late in the third quarter Sunday and was ruled out.He came up limping after absorbing multiple hits on a touchdown run that was negated by a holding penalty. Wentz stayed in the game for the remainder of the drive, which he capped with a fourth-down touchdown throw to Alshon Jeffery that gave the Eagles the lead.
Despite Wentz’s terrible injury, several Cowboys fans are taunting Eagles fans on Twitter because they believe this is karma for the time the Philly faithful cheered Michael Irvin’s devastating career-ending back injury in 1999.

Hey Philly, remember that time you booed Santa Claus? On the same weekend Joel Embiid and Carson Wentz go down with knee injuries. #ChristmasKarma

Same Eagles fans that cheered Michael Irvin's career ending injury and Romo's broken collarbone want sympathy for Carson Wentz, I'll never cheer for a players injury, but that doesn't mean I feel bad for his fans

Weren’t Eagles fans the ones who cheered when Michael Irvin was laid out with a concussion? I do feel bad for Wentz, but for those Santa-booing cheesesteaks? 🖕

I feel bad for Wentz, but I’m also reminded of the time eagles fans cheered as Michael Irvin lay lifeless on the concrete turf at the vet. #schadenfreude #karma https://t.co/jgn39nuG7P

Who else remembers all the Romo memes and jokes on twitter from Philly fans when Tony would get hurt? 🦅🤷🏻♂️

While there’s no doubt that Eagles fans have been pieces of shit in the past it’s still pretty fucked up to taunt them after Wentz went down with a terrible injury.
