Banner day for Eagles as champs hold off Cowboys in wild one
"PHILADELPHIA -- The 2025 NFL season got off to an odd start, with Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter being ejected for spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott before the first play from scrimmage. The rivalry game remained every bit as intense from start to lightning-delayed finish, with the Eagles pulling out a 24-20 win on the night they unveiled their 2024 championship banner."
"What to make of the QB performance: Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts picked up where he left off, taking advantage of large lanes to score a pair of rushing touchdowns and propel the Eagles' offense. He now has 16 games with multiple rushing touchdowns, extending his NFL record for a QB (Buffalo's Josh Allen is second with 12). Turning point: The Cowboys appeared to be heading in for the go-ahead score late in the third quarter."
Philadelphia defeated Dallas 24-20 after a lightning-delayed rivalry game. Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott before the first play. The Eagles unveiled their 2024 championship banner that night. Jalen Hurts scored two rushing touchdowns and now has 16 games with multiple rushing touchdowns, an NFL record for quarterbacks. Both defenses struggled early while Dallas adjusted to life without Micah Parsons. A critical Cowboys turnover late in the third quarter—Quinyon Mitchell scooping a Miles Sanders fumble—helped swing momentum to the defending champions.
