Dallas Cowboys to go against Philadelphia Eagles in NFL 2025 season-opener

Cowboys' season opener will see quarterback Dak Prescott make a comeback after a hamstring injury. The Dallas team will also have a new head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, who previously served as the team's offensive coordinator. It comes as Mike McCarthy parted ways with the Cowboys after five seasons. 

Meanwhile, Eagles stars Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley will return to kick off the season, per the outlet. In February, the Philadelphia team defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, denying them their third consecutive Super Bowl win. 

As the announcement for the opening game comes just days before the full schedule for the season is unveiled, Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons has shared his reaction. “Yeah yeah let’s ball,” the linebacker, who grew up an Eagles fan, wrote on his Instagram Stories.
