It’s finally here. The NFL schedule has been released and the Dallas Cowboys kick off the 66th season in their franchise’s history in grand fashion. Ahead of the full schedule being released, we were informed that the Cowboys would be hosted by the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, September 4th. This marks the second time the Cowboys have opened the season against a defending Super Bowl champion since 2012 when the Cowboys defeated the New York Giants 24-17 at Metlife Stadium.
We also learned that the Cowboys would host Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas Chiefs for Thanksgiving at AT&T Stadium.
