PHILADELPHIA – The 133rd meeting all-time between the Eagles and Cowboys played out exactly like everyone thought it would. With an ejection before the first offensive snap, a lightning delay and even Dak Prescott laying out to make a potentially touchdown saving tackle.
In the end, it was the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles coming out on top with a 24 to 20 win over the Cowboys, who begin the Brian Schottenheimer era 0-1.
Dallas was shut out in the second half of the season opener after scoring on all four of their offensive possessions in the first half, and couldn’t capitalize on opportunities that their defense gave them late in the fourth quarter.
