After a dazzling rendition of the National Anthem, the Dallas Cowboys got the ball to start the afternoon at their own 20. A false start before second down was followed up Connor Barwin’s first sack of the season off a stunt. With the crowd on their feet, the Eagles got the ball for the first time as Darren Sproles returned a punt to the Eagles’ 40-yard line.
The Eagles failed to muster anything on their first possession, as a third-down pass intended for Jordan Matthews fell incomplete. From right around midfield, Donnie Jones’ first punt of the afternoon pinned the Cowboys at their own 13-yard line.
