Ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 primetime matchup with the Dallas Cowboys on October 16, Fetterman bought billboards on both sides of I-95 outside Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles\u2019 home stadium. The billboards labeled Oz a Cowboys fan, part of the campaign\u2019s effort to portray Oz as an out-of-state carpetbagger. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dr-oz-is-a-cowboys-fan-fetterman-appeals-to-philadelphia-sports-fans-as-pennsylvania-senate-race-gets-even-tighter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Oz is a Cowboys fan<\/a>,\u201d the billboard read, alongside a photo of Oz dunking a football over a goalpost at AT&#038;T Stadium, home of the Cowboys. \u201cElect a real Pennsylvanian.
