The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 on Thursday Night Football for their 2025 season opener.

The Birds swept Dallas last fall, so we’ll see if they can do it again, despite losing some key players on both sides of the ball to NFL free agency. The Cowboys also lost some key pieces this offseason, though their biggest loss came just last week when they traded star edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.

That’s the kind of loss that can leave them in big trouble when it comes to stopping Eagles’ running back Saquon Barkley. Fans don’t want to miss this matchup!
