Cowboys Offense Outperforms Expectations
- The Cowboys offense looked much better than expected and Dak Prescott played excellently early in the game.
- Without Micah Parsons' pass-rush impact, Dallas' defense may leave them vulnerable despite offensive promise.
Eagles Must Prove Offensive Versatility
- The Eagles' 2025 problem is whether they can win in different ways beyond leaning on the run and Hurts scrambling.
- Philadelphia showed elite first-half passing efficiency but reverted to conservative, run-first play later.
Philadelphia Defense Appeared Vulnerable
- The Eagles defense did not control opponents the way it did during their Super Bowl run, especially early in the game.
- Dallas moved the ball between the tackles and attacked the secondary, exposing coverage and rush inconsistencies.
