Banner day for Eagles as champs hold off Cowboys in wild one

The opening game of the NFL season between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys was a wild affair. The game was delayed for nearly an hour due to a thunderstorm, and it also featured an ejection after a player spit on an opponent. The defending champion Eagles held off a late comeback attempt by the Cowboys to win the game 18-12. Quarterback Carson Wentz had a solid performance, throwing for 255 yards and a touchdown. The Eagles' defense also played a key role, managing to contain the Cowboys' offense for most of the game. Despite the unusual circumstances, the victory was an important one for the Eagles as they look to defend their Super Bowl title. The game's outcome also sets up an early-season clash between two of the NFC's top contenders.
