PHILADELPHIA – The NFL season started in one of the strangest ways to date.
The opening kickoff featured a major injury, the first play from scrimmage a major ejection, the first half a ton of points and the first game a lengthy rain delay.
Throw all that together and you have some intriguing NFL football to start the 2025 season, a 24-20 Philadelphia Eagles victory over rival the Dallas Cowboys.
Kevin Harlan and Ross Tucker called the action on Westwood One Sports.

Kevin Harlan asks “where’s this weather?” during a commercial break and BOOM – lightning immediately suspends the game.
