The NFL season started with a wild game! Master Philadelphia Eagles started his title mission with a 24:20 against the Dallas Cowboys. The game was overshadowed by the weather chaos and a disgust scandal.
Because before the first move, Jalen Carter was disqualified by the referees. The star defender of the Eagles spit on Dallas Quarterback DAK Prescott. However, TV recordings also show how Prescott previously spat towards the defensive tackles without meeting him.
“One of the officials has observed how he spit on an opponent,” referee Shawn Smith told a report. “This is a foul that leads to disqualification in the game. It has nothing to do with football.”
Ex-star shocked: “totally disrespectful”
The former Patriots star Devin McCourty was an expert at NBC Shocked: “You can’t be so selfish and don’t think of your team. It was selfish and totally disrespectful. You can’t do that. Incredible that he did something like this.”
Afterwards the atmosphere was very heated in the duel of the hated rivals. Other memorable scenes followed. The game in the middle of the third quarter was interrupted for more than an hour.
A thunderstorm passed in the vicinity of the stadium. The flashes could be seen everywhere. So all 67,594 fans fans had to clear their places and the teams into the cabin. So the opening game also became a marathon show. In total, there were almost four hours between kick -off and the final whistle.
In the end, the Eagles won relatively tightly. The experts hardly believed the cowboys a surprise after giving their superstar Micah Parsons a few days ago.
Cowboys receiver becomes a tragic figure
But the new runningback Javonte Williams was two touchdowns for the guests, in which Prescott did not get a very strong day with only 188 yards and no successful pass into the end zone.
His star receiver Ceedee Lamb caught seven balls for 110 Yard’s room win, but dropped several passports of his quarterback and thus became a tragic figure. In the fourth attempt shortly before the end of the game, Lamb came to the football with both hands by playing, but could not control it.
Barkley remains pale
Even compared to Jalen Hurts, 152 yards managed through the air and stayed without a touchdown pass. However, Hurts ran twice into the end zone.
Also remarkable: Superstar Saquon Barkley only came on 60 yards with his runs. After all, he achieved a touchdown. So it was at the break 21:20 for the Eagles and in the second half only the master managed a field goal. The offensive no more managed.
