Eagles Edge Cowboys 24–20 to Open NFL Season After Lightning Delay, Early Ejection

Jalen Hurts completed 19 passes for 152 yards, added 62 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, and Saquon Barkley ran for 60 yards with a score as Philadelphia totaled 158 yards on the ground. Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter was ejected six seconds into the game for allegedly spitting at Dak Prescott, an incident likely to draw league review. Philadelphia’s Ben VanSumeren left on the opening play with a knee injury, and his status was pending further evaluation. Play was halted for more than 30 minutes because of lightning with 4:44 left in the third quarter, and neither team scored after the delay. Dallas’ final opportunities slipped away as CeeDee Lamb dropped multiple late passes, including on fourth-and-3, with Prescott finishing at 188 passing yards.
