Eagles Edge Cowboys in Lightning-Delayed NFL Kickoff as Chargers Stun Chiefs in São Paulo

Disciplinary flashpoints plus severe weather framed a kickoff that showcased the NFL’s expanding international schedule.

Overview

  • Philadelphia opened its title defense with a 24-20 win over Dallas, powered by Jalen Hurts’ two rushing touchdowns and 214 total yards.
  • Officials ejected Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter seconds into the game for spitting at Dak Prescott, with the incident subject to league discipline protocols.
  • A lightning warning halted play late in the third quarter for more than an hour before the game resumed without further scoring.
  • CeeDee Lamb finished with 110 yards but had costly late drops, including on fourth-and-3, while Saquon Barkley added 60 rushing yards and a touchdown for Philadelphia.
  • In Brazil, the Chargers upset the Chiefs 27-21 behind Justin Herbert’s 318 yards and three passing touchdowns, including two to Quentin Johnston, underscoring Week 1’s international stage.
