The Dallas Cowboys are set to begin their 2025 season this week as they will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL’s first game of the season. It is the third time that Dallas is playing in a kickoff game in modern history, they defeated the New York Giants in 2012 and lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.
It goes without saying that this is a big game for the Cowboys. Philadelphia is a division rival and to get a win, on the road especially, on the night that they hoist a Super Bowl banner, would go a long way towards soothing things on the Dallas side right now. The team just traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for two first-round picks (2026 and 2027) and Kenny Clark, setting off a torrent of emotions.
New head coach Brian Schottenheimer is going to have to prove that he was the right man for the job and Dak Prescott is going to have to prove something to someone if history is any indicator. This game will mark the debut for Schotty, but it will also be the first time that George Pickens takes the field as a member of the Cowboys which should help CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson and whoever is running the ball between Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders and Jaydon Blue.
On the Philly side, reigning Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts will lead the likes of Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and all of the other weaponry that Howie Roseman has assembled for Nick Sirianni to deploy. Depending on exactly where you look the Cowboys are a touchdown-ish underdog which suggests it could be a not-so-fun night for the good guys.

Welcome to the season. We made it.
