"Bitterness to kickstart NFL's 2025 season schedule through a fierce rivalry"
Ready for a 2025 NFL Blockbuster? The Eagles and Cowboys Clash in the Season Opener
Get your popcorn ready, football fans! The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off their Super Bowl LIX win, are set to square off against the Dallas Cowboys in a highly anticipated 2025 season opener at Lincoln Financial Field.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts, leading the defending champs, will face off against the Cowboys' franchise QB, Dak Prescott, in a match-up that promises electrifying football. Expect a packed house on Thursday, September 4, as America's Team pays a visit to the City of Brotherly Love.
This showdown marks the first season opener between these NFC East foes since 2000, and only the second September encounter since 2021. The last time they met in the opening week, the Eagles emerged victorious with a 41-14 thrashing.
Historically, the Cowboys have dominated the series, boasting a 74-58 record against Philadelphia. However, the tables have turned lately, with Hurts and the Eagles racking up an impressive 2-0 record against Dallas in 2024, even without Prescott due to injury.
Dak is expected to be in tip-top shape for 2025, having undergone an incredible off-season body transformation. Last season, when he did suit up against the Eagles in December 2023, he delivered a solid performance, throwing for two touchdowns in a 33-13 victory.
While Prescott has enjoyed a 9-4 career record against Philadelphia, the Eagles will be out to prove that their rise to the top is no fluke. And for the Cowboys, they'll be hoping to kick off 2025 with a win and put a dent in the Eagles' season-opening dominance.
