The Eagles could be looking to add more depth to their defense after signing three-time Pro Bowler Za'Darius Smith

The Philadelphia Eagles kicked off their 2025 season on Thursday night with a thrilling — but messy — 24-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys, improving to 1-0. The game began with controversy as Eagles star pass rusher Jalen Carter was ejected before the first play for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

The Cowboys (0-0) and the Eagles (0-0) take the field Thursday in Philadelphia to open the 2025 NFL season.

The Eagles pushed hard to land Micah Parsons, but the Cowboys refused to trade him within the division, sending him to the Packers instead.

Jerry Jones preferred to trade Micah Parsons out of the NFC entirely, but the Cowboys owner definitely didn’t want to deal his All-Pro edge rusher within Dallas’ division.

The Eagles reportedly offered multiple draft picks, including two first-rounders, for Micah Parsons, but the Cowboys refused.

The Eagles elevated safety Marcus Epps and outside linebacker Patrick Johnson before tonight's season opener vs. the Cowboys.

On paper the Cowboys pass rush did well against the Eagles in Week 1, but a closer look shows it's mostly Fool's Gold.
