Eagles Host Cowboys in NFL Kickoff Game
The NFL season kicks off tonight with the Super Bowl LIX Champion Philadelphia Eagles hosting division rival Dallas Cowboys.
This game is the most highly anticipated season opener in team history, with fans lining up to tailgate starting at 10:30 PM on Wednesday night and will see the Super Bowl LIX banner unveiled pregame. The Eagles saw some key pieces leave the team during the offseason but also saw some new additions in Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys traded their best defensive player, Micah Parsons, to the Green Bay Packers just last week. It’s a division game and these two teams always duke it out but the Eagles are favored to win.
Kickoff is at 8:20 PM on NBC. Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth are on the call for NBC.
Check out our pregame episode of the Birds Nest Podcast to get yourself ready for the game.
