The Cowboys (0-0) and the Eagles (0-0) take the field Thursday in Philadelphia to open the 2025 NFL season.
When we last saw Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, they were dismantling Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX in the Caesars Superdome. The roster of a Super Bowl winner is often raided during the offseason. Yes, Philly must replace Darius Slay, Josh Sweat, and Milton Williams, but this is a deep roster led by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts. Philly’s Super Bowl window appears to still be wide open.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys enter the season following a franchise-altering trade of All-Pro Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers last weekend. Dallas was a disappointing 7-10 last season missing the playoffs for the first time in three years. If the Cowboys are to rebound from the disappointment of last season and overcome the loss of Parsons, Dak Prescott will need to consistently put up numbers.
Fun Fact: The NFC East has seen the Eagles and the Cowboys alternate as division champs for the last four years. The division, in fact, has not seen a repeat winner since Philly finished the season atop their divisional brethren in 2004.
Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup between the Cowboys and the Eagles.
