Beating the Dallas Cowboys wasn’t enough for Philadelphia Eagles fans; they had to rub it in just a little bit more in true Philly fashion.
Philadelphia defeated Dallas 24-20 in the 2025 NFL season opener, in a game in which Jalen Carter was ejected for disgustingly spitting on Dak Prescott.
Hurts threw for only 152 yards, but his two scores on the ground were more than enough to get past his rival. He did so while enduring a one-hour weather delay due to lightning in the area that threatened the safety of everyone at Lincoln Financial Field.
Defense was not a focal point early for either team. Both teams combined for seven drives in the first half, each resulting in points as the Eagles took a 21-20 halftime lead. As you could see, only Philly was able to put anything else on the board after that.
The loss was bad enough for the Cowboys, but then they found themselves being harassed as they tried to leave the city.

Eagles Score Massive Win Over The Cowboys
Philadelphia hung on for a 24-20 win over Dallas after the game was delayed due to weather in the third quarter. Jalen Hurts scored two rushing touchdowns on the night.
This was more than just a win, it was a message.
Winning against your most hated rival sends a message, and it will work well later if you can successfully sweep them with playoff implications at stake.
Dak Prescott, who was caught spitting during this game, completed 21 of his 34 passes for 188 yards. Lamb finished with seven receptions and 110 yards on 13 targets. However, he had four crucial drops that cost the team a chance to win it in the fourth quarter.
Despite trading away Micah Parsons, the Cowboys held Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley to 60 yards, though he did score a touchdown.
Just know, there will be fireworks when the team meets up in Arlington later this year.
