Moreover, they started the game like a team on the peak of its powers. Although both the teams returned pointless in the first quarter, the Eagles gained a whopping 17 point lead in the second quarter which pushed the Cowboys on the back foot.

As it turns out, Robin DeLorenzo was seen officiating during the game. She is only the third female official to join the coveted league this year.
The New Jersey native made her NFL debut this year during the Giants versus Patriots preseason encounter. As it turns out, Robin started off as a cheerleader but kept on learning the little nuances of the game which eventually allowed her to become an NFL official.
“I’ve always loved the actual game of football since I was little,” Robin had told CBS after her debut. “I gotta be honest, though. My father being an official it never dawned on me, because there were no women doing this.”
Robin has gained over two decades of experience when it comes to officiating football games at different levels. She has been sensational thus far and more such stories are only going to make the league more popular.
