The 2025 NFL season kicks off on September 4, with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field at 8:20 PM, broadcast live on NBC. The Eagles, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, who won Super Bowl MVP, have high expectations as they aim to defend their title. Despite losing offensive lineman Mekhi Becton and linebacker Josh Sweat to free agency, they have strengthened their roster by drafting linebacker Jihaad Campbell and acquiring guard Kenyon Green from the Houston Texans.
The Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 7-10 season under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Quarterback Dak Prescott returns from injury, and the team has bolstered its offense by adding wide receiver George Pickens. The Cowboys’ defense, spearheaded by Osa Odighizuwa, will face challenges against the Eagles’ potent offense.
In a notable managerial change, the Colorado Rockies dismissed manager Bud Black and bench coach Mike Redmond following a brief celebration of a 9-3 win over the San Diego Padres. Currently holding the worst league record at 7-33, the Rockies appointed third base coach Warren Schaeffer as interim manager while Clint Hurdle assumes the role of interim bench coach.
In the NBA, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks is contemplating his future after 12 seasons with the team. Discussions are expected with the Toronto Raptors during the NBA Combine in Chicago, as both sides express mutual interest.
As the NFL opener approaches, anticipation builds to see if the Eagles can maintain their championship momentum and if the Cowboys will fare better under new guidance.
