PHILADELPHIA -- The 2025 NFL season got off to an odd start, with Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter being ejected for spitting on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott before the first play from scrimmage.
The rivalry game remained every bit as intense from start to lightning-delayed finish, with the Eagles pulling out a 24-20 win on the night they unveiled their 2024 championship banner.
With Carter absent from the middle of the Eagles defense and Dallas getting used to life without Micah Parsons, both defenses took some time to stabilize before eventually finding their footing.
