It’s been a long six months since the Super Bowl, but the NFL is officially back tonight.
The 2025-26 season is kicking off as it does almost every season, with the reigning Super Bowl Champions, and tonight’s game is also a divisional matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys.
The Eagles’ title defense begins with a core squad that looks similar to last year’s, with QB Jalen Hurts and star running back Saquon Barkley leading the charge.
Dallas is entering tonight’s game on the heels of a blockbuster trade that sent defensive end Micah Parsons to Green Bay. Between the trade and the hiring of a new defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus, Dallas is essentially hitting the reset button on their defense.
