It’s NFL schedule release week and we have our first confirmed matchup of the upcoming season. The defending champion Philadelphia Eagles will host the Dallas Cowboys to open the 2025 NFL season on Thursday September 4th. The game will be broadcast on NBC/Peacock with a start time of 8:20pm EST.
This is an intriguing matchup for several reasons. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will be returning from his season ending hamstring injury with a lot to prove. The Eagles on the other hand will try to avoid the Super Bowl hangover and start the season on a winning note. It will also mark the debut for new Cowboys receiver George Pickens who was recently acquired in a trade from the Steelers.
Then of course there is the rivalry aspect that always ramps up the intensity of this NFC East battle. Dallas was blown out in both matchups last year and they will want to return the favor. Prescott, when healthy has shown he has the Eagles number with a 9-4 record head-to-head. This will be an entertaining opener to say the least and we can’t wait to see it play out.
