Eagles Win Controversial Season Opener Over Cowboys 24-20

The Philadelphia Eagles opened their 2025 season with a hard-fought 24-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, marked by a standout performance from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Hurts was near perfect passing, completing 19 of 23 passes for 152 yards and no turnovers, but his rushing ability was the highlight, with 62 yards and two touchdowns, including a critical fourth-quarter scramble that sealed the win. Despite the Eagles' offensive success, the defense struggled early, conceding points on the Cowboys' first four possessions and suffering from disciplinary issues, including 93 yards in penalties and a key ejection of star defensive tackle Jalen Carter for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. The game also featured injuries, with Ben VanSumeren sidelined on the opening kickoff and Landon Dickerson leaving later, challenging the Eagles' depth. The Eagles showed resilience after a weather delay and defensive lapses, with the defense stepping up late to secure the win. Fans witnessed a mix of triumph and tension, with the team simultaneously unveiling their Super Bowl LIX banner while overcoming adversity to start the season 1-0.
