Indeed, an unexpected turn. The Philadelphia Eagles commenced their quest to defend their Super Bowl crown by … witnessing one of their key players, defensive lineman Jalen Carter, be dismissed from the game for allegedly spitting towards Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott even before the game officially began.
The Cowboys subsequently advanced down the field, concluding their drive with Javonte Williams pushing into the end zone from a single yard, granting Dallas a 7-0 advantage.

CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens both successfully caught passes during the series, leaving Philadelphia to proceed through the remainder of the match without, quite possibly, its premier defensive player.
The Eagles countered with a sustained drive of their own, culminating in Jalen Hurts reaching the end zone from a distance of four yards. Following this, the Cowboys launched another drive, with Williams achieving his second 1-yard touchdown of the night.
This contest appears to be shaping up favorably.
