Jalen Hurts scored two rushing touchdowns as the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 24-20, in the NFL season opener on Thursday night at Lincoln Financial Field. The game was delayed for about an hour due to a weather delay as storms moved through the region. 

Hurts sealed the win for the Eagles with a clutch third-down run late in the fourth quarter.

Hurts completed 19 of his 23 passes for 152 yards. He also scrambled multiple times and recorded 65 yards on 11 carries.

While Hurts made some nice throws, he wasn't able to connect with his top receiver until late in the game. A.J. Brown had zero targets and didn't record a catch until the fourth quarter. Jahan Dotson led the Eagles in receiving with three catches for 59 yards. Dallas Goedert had seven catches for 44 yards. 

Saquon Barkley scored Philadelphia's other touchdown of the night on a 10-yard run at the end of the second quarter. Barkley recorded 60 yards on 18 carries and had four catches for 24 yards. 

The game didn't get off to the best start for the Eagles as defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected before the first play of the game for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. A video on the broadcast showed that Prescott initially spat in Carter's direction before the ejection. 

Prescott completed 21 of his 34 passes for 188 yards, with CeeDee Lamb catching the majority of the passes. Lamb had seven catches for 110 yards, but he had some crucial drops at the end of the game. 

Midway through the third quarter, former Eagles running back Miles Sanders had a 49-yard run that set-up the Cowbys deep into Philadelphia territory with Dallas down 24-20. 

Several plays later, Sanders had another carry but rookie linebacker Jihaad Campbell forced a fumble, which was recovered by cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. The play stopped Dallas from taking the lead or potentially adding a field goal, which would've made it a one point game.

Javonte Williams scored two rushing touchdowns for the Cowboys. 

Eagles Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson, who was dealing with a back injury, exited the game in the second half. Eagles fullback Ben VanSumeren was ruled out for the game on the opening kickoff with a knee injury. 

Jake Elliott booted in a 58-yard field goal in the third quarter. 

The Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 2 in a Super Bowl rematch.

Before the weather delay, it was non-stop scoring. Since it's been all punts. 

The Eagles came up with a big stop late in the fourth quarter after the Cowboys picked up a first down on a 13-yard gain to CeeDee Lamb. 

Rookies Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba each made a big tackle on Kavontae Turpin on second down, which forced third and long for Dallas. 

Dak Prescott completed a 3-yard pass to Javonte Williams on third down, but he didn't gain enough to get a first down, which forced the Cowboys to punt with 4:50 left in the game.

Eagles Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson exited the game and went to the locker room midway through the fourth quarter. 

The Eagles said Dickerson is questionable to return to the game. Bret Toth replaced Dickerson after he left the game.

Dickerson missed practice on Monday with a back injury, but he was a full participant on Tuesday and Wednesday.

It took until early in the fourth quarter, but the Eagles ran the first tush push of the year against the Cowboys. And they converted, of course. 

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts gained 1-yard on the tush push to get the first down from their own 22-yard line.

It's the first time the Eagles ran the play after the league voted to ban the play in the offseason.

The TV broadcast showed a new video of the moments that led to Jalen Carter spitting on Dak Prescott, which resulted in his ejection. 

Before Carter spat on the Cowboys quarterback, Prescott spat in the direction of Carter, which led to the two exchanging words and the eventual ejection. 

After roughly an hour, the Eagles-Cowboys game resumed after a weather delay that was prompted by lightning in the area.

Lincoln Financial Field says the Eagles-Cowboys game is estimated to resume at 11:30 p.m. as teams will return to the field for warm-ups at 11:15 p.m.

The game went into a delay with less than five minutes left in the third quarter.

Lincoln Financial Field is warning fans who exit the stadium amid the weather delay won't be able to re-enter the game. 

"Severe weather is in the area at this time – for your safety, please shelter in place and remain sheltered away from the open seating areas," the Linc wrote in a statement. "We will provide further updates as we receive them."

The Eagles and Cowboys game might not end until early Friday morning.

According to NBC's Mike Tirico, the game could resume at 11:30 p.m.

The Eagles-Cowboys game has been suspended late in the third quarter due to lightning in the area. 

Our NEXT Weather Team issued a NEXT Weather Alert for Thursday night due to potential severe storms moving through the Philadelphia region.

All fans at the Linc were asked to seek shelter immediately, and players, coaches and staff all went inside.

Former Eagles running back Miles Sanders fumbled deep into Philadelphia territory, and it was recovered by Birds cornerback Quinyon Mitchell late in the third quarter. 

Rookie linebacker Jihaad Campbell stripped the ball from Sanders, and then Mitchell scooped it up. 

The Birds capped off the fumble recovery with a tush push celebration in the end zone.

Eagles veteran cornerback Adoree' Jackson, who has had a rough game, was evaluated for a concussion. He's been cleared to return. Cornerback Jakorian Bennett was seen taking snaps in place of Jackson. 

Eagles backup running back Will Shipley is questionable to return with an injury to his ribs. He had three carries for 26 yards before getting hurt.

On the first drive of the third quarter, A.J. Dillon carried the ball three times for 10 yards. 

Jake Elliott drilled a 58-yard field goal, his first attempt of the season, to extend Philadelphia's lead to 24-20 over the Cowboys early in the third quarter. 

Elliott had an up-and-down 2024 season with the Birds, and he was 1 for 7 on field goals from 50-plus yards. 

Philadelphia's first drive of the third quarter stalled after Jalen Hurts was sacked for an 8-yard loss.

The Eagles walked past a new sign in the tunnel before Thursday's game in South Philly, and it contains a little piece of their Super Bowl victory. Meet the team behind the neon "Go Birds" sign that lit their way.

The Philadelphia Eagles lead the Dallas Cowboys 21-20 at halftime after a back-and-forth two quarters of football at Lincoln Financial Field in the NFL season opener. 

Jalen Hurts has two touchdowns on six carries for 48 yards. He's completed 9 of his 11 passes for 93 yards. 

Saquon Barkley's 10-yard touchdown late in the second quarter gave the Birds the lead. At halftime, Barkley has 10 carries for 49 yards and two catches for 11 yards.

A.J. Brown hasn't been targeted yet in the first half and doesn't have a catch. DeVonta Smith has one catch for 6 yards. 

Jahan Dotson leads the Eagles in receiving with one catch for 51 yards, while Dallas Goedert has four catches for 24 yards.

The game didn't get off to the best start for the Eagles, as Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected before even taking a snap against Dallas for apparently spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. 

Carter off the field made things easier for the Cowboys' offense, and it showed. 

Prescott and wideout CeeDee Lamb hooked up four times for 86 yards. Cowboys running back Javonte Williams has nine carries for 38 yards and two scores.

Eagles fullback Ben VanSumeren was ruled out for the rest of the game on the opening kickoff with a knee injury.

Brandon Aubrey drilled two field goals for the Cowboys, including one from 53 yards.

Saquon Barkley is on the board.

Barkley scored on a 10-yard touchdown run to give the Eagles a 21-17 lead over the Cowboys late in the first half. 

So far, Barkley has 10 carries for 49 yards. 

The Cowboys will get a chance to answer before heading into halftime.

After driving down the field and scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions, the Eagles were able to hold the Cowboys to a field goal on their third drive at the end of the second quarter. 

Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey drilled a 41-yard field goal to give Dallas a 17-14 lead with 2:34 left in the first half.

Eagles cornerback Adoree' Jackson, who has been getting beat all game, broke up a Dak Prescott pass intended for CeeDee Lamb in Philadelphia territory on second down. 

Prescott then sailed a pass over the head of wideout George Pickens on third down, which led to the field goal.

Jalen Hurts scored his second touchdown of the night on an 8-yard run to help the Eagles tie the game, 14-14, midway through the second quarter. 

Hurts has had no problem running the ball and scrambling against Dallas to start the game. He has five carries for 43 yards and two scores.

Hurts is also a perfect 6 for 6 throwing the ball for 31 yards.

Without Jalen Carter on the field, the Cowboys haven't had trouble moving the ball. 

Javonte Williams scored his second touchdown of the night on a 1-yard run to help Dallas take a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter.

So far, Williams has eight carries for 34 yards and two scores. 

The Eagles have also had trouble containing Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. He has three catches for 76 yards.

The Eagles wasted little time answering back after the Cowboys drove down the field and scored to open the game. 

In his first drive since winning the Super Bowl, Jalen Hurts scored on a 4-yard touchdown run on a 10-play, 70-yard drive. 

Jake Elliott made the extra point to make it a 7-7 game with 5:55 left in the first quarter.

Jalen Carter was ejected from the game against the Cowboys on Thursday night after he apparently spat on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

The Cowboys then took the lead, 7-0, after Javonte Williams found the end zone on a 1-yard touchdown run.

The Cowboys will receive the ball first to start the game, so the Eagles will get the ball to open the second half.

The Eagles revealed their second Super Bowl championship banner at Lincoln Financial Field tonight before the NFL season opener vs. the Dallas Cowboys. 

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and two-time Super Bowl champion Brandon Graham, who retired after winning another title, brought both of the team's Lombardi trophies to the field for the banner ceremony.

Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill is at Lincoln Financial Field for the Eagles and Cowboys.

Here are some storylines to watch tonight in the season opener between the Eagles and Cowboys:

• All eyes will be on new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo vs. the Cowboys in his debut in the role. Luckily for Patullo, he won't have to game-plan for Parsons. Patullo will be Hurts' sixth play caller since he was drafted in Philadelphia in 2020.
• Philadelphia's secondary will be tested by Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and the team's talented pass catchers like CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson. The Eagles will have two new starters in the secondary vs. Dallas.
• Landon Dickerson is on track to start against the Cowboys after he missed Monday's practice with a back injury. He was a full participant on Tuesday and Wednesday, but Tanner McKee is out with a right thumb injury, which means Sam Howell will be the team's backup quarterback.

Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and the rest of the Eagles arrived in style at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday night for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.  

After missing practice on Monday, Eagles Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson will start against the Cowboys. 

Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee is out and among the inactives vs. Dallas, which means Sam Howell will be the backup to Jalen Hurts. 

Here's the rest of Philadelphia's inactives: 

• OLB Azeez Ojulari
• DE Ogbo Okoronkwo
• OL Drew Kendall
• OT Cameron Williams
• OL Kenyon Green
• DT Ty Robinson

The Cowboys traded All-Pro Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers last week, but his mother is reportedly in attendance for tonight's game vs. the Eagles. 

NFL Network reports that Parsons' mother is at Lincoln Financial Field in "Cowboys apparel" for the NFL season opener in South Philly. 

Parsons is a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, native, so it's not too far of a trip.

Before the Cowboys dealt Parsons to the Packers, the Eagles reportedly made a "strong push" for the All-Pro. 

SEPTA and FanDuel have partnered to bring back sports express trains on the Broad Street Line tonight for the Eagles-Cowboys game amid service cuts impacting the region. 

On Tuesday, the Eagles asked fans without a ticket not to travel to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex because SEPTA was not providing special service trains. That changed on Wednesday when the sponsorship was announced.

The sponsorship also includes free Broad Street Line rides home for fans, beginning at halftime.

SEPTA will run express trains every 10 minutes in addition to local service before Thursday's game. After the game, SEPTA will have 10 express trains and six local trains operating over a period of 70 minutes.

"We appreciate FanDuel and SEPTA for collaborating to help provide Eagles fans with convenient transportation to-and-from our home opener," Eagles President Don Smolenski said in a statement. "Their generous support will assist fans in getting to Lincoln Financial Field so that we can all enjoy the Championship Moment together as we take on the division rival Dallas Cowboys."
