NFL Week 1 Eagles vs Cowboys - What to expect

The Eagles will be having a new offensive coordinator in Kevin Patullo and it would be interesting to see the offense holds up in his debut game. Patuallo surely has all the firepower on his side starting with QB Jalen Hurts, RB Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.

As for the Cowboys, the defense has been left a little light after the recent trade of pro bowl linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. The move, which came on the back of failed contract negotiations, was termed 'good for the team in long run' by the franchise owner Jerry Jones. The Cowboys will be hoping that the void isn't too big.
