Philadelphia Eagles Outlast Dallas Cowboys 24-20 In NFL Season Opener

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys 24-20 in a dramatic season opener last night. The game kicked off with immediate controversy as Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected just six seconds in for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Despite the early loss of Carter, quarterback Jalen Hurts led the offense with two rushing touchdowns and an efficient passing performance. Running back Saquon Barkley added another touchdown on the ground, while kicker Jake Elliott nailed a crucial 58-yard field goal in the third quarter to give the Eagles a four-point lead.

A 65-minute lightning delay midway through the third quarter paused the action, but when play resumed, neither team was able to score. The Cowboys had a chance to take the lead late in the game, but a fumble by Miles Sanders and a failed fourth-down attempt sealed their fate. Philadelphia’s defense stood tall in the final minutes, helping the team escape with a narrow win. What did we learn from the Eagles and Cowboys? What went wrong for the Cowboys? How did Dak Prescott look?
