Football is back! And no more preseason appetizers of seeing guys duke it out for roster spots and backup roles. Now it’s on, and the first game is the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles hosting their bitter division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.
Before we get into the matchups, here’s the most essential information: how to catch the game. This is especially true if you’re stuck somewhere and can only listen to a radio broadcast.

The Cowboys and Eagles enter the game from opposite directions.
Philadelphia will unfurl a championship banner in front of its fans. The players will be conspicuously absent from the ceremony, opting to stay in the locker room as a gesture of “moving on” from last season while seeking to repeat as Super Bowl champs.
The Eagles boast one of the best and deepest rosters in the league. They return Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts at quarterback, A.J. Brown at wide receiver, and Saquon Barkley at running back, all working behind an offensive line full of All-Pros and Pro Bowlers capable of bulldozing defenses and keeping Hurts’ pocket clean.
The biggest drama they dealt with was convincing enough owners to vote against banning the tush push.
The Cowboys are a different story.
After back-to-back 12-5 seasons in 2022 and 2023, both ending in playoff exits, the Cowboys bottomed out in 2024. Injuries piled up, most importantly to quarterback Dak Prescott, who partially tore his hamstring from the bone, and they finished 7-10.
Head coach Mike McCarthy was fired, and owner/general manager Jerry Jones hired Brian Schottenheimer to replace him.
Trading a draft pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens seemed like the big drama move for the Cowboys during the offseason — until Micah Parsons’ contract negotiations collapsed. What once seemed like a sure extension ended with him getting traded to the Green Bay Packers just days before the start of the regular season.
Now, while the Dallas fan base is still debating whether Jones torpedoed the Cowboys’ playoff hopes, Eagles fans will be gloating as another Super Bowl banner rises over Lincoln Financial Field.
