The Philadelphia Eagles edged out the Dallas Cowboys 24-20 in a dramatic season opener marked by unusual circumstances. Jalen Hurts scored two rushing touchdowns, while Eagles' defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott. A 65-minute weather delay further complicated the game, ultimately won by the Eagles after a late defensive stand. Despite the win, the Eagles sustained injuries and saw limited production from their star receivers, highlighting a challenging yet victorious start to their title defense.
