The Dallas Cowboys will play the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2 of the NFL 2015 regular season in a massive all-NFC East match up. This game could have huge Playoff implications even though it is just Week 2, and neither side will want to give any up to their fierce division rivals. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and takes place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network, or online through live stream via the link below.
This will be the first time that these two teams will face off against one another at Lincoln Financial Field in the opening month of the season, and as soon as the season schedule was announced, both sets of fans will have penciled in today's game.
The Eagles will be kicking themselves for losing their season opener last week. They got off to such a bad start, and seemed to still be in preseason mode, finding themselves 20-3 down at the half time point. They showed what they were made of in the second half, but left themselves with too much today, ultimately coming up short in a 26-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys will be in confident mood after overturning fierce rivals the New York Giants in their season opener. It was a game they perhaps should have lost, but some bad clock management on New York's behalf, coupled with the Cowboys taking advantage of some slack defensive work from the Giants, allowed them to snatch the win at the death, in a 27-26 game.
The Cowboys will be desperate to get to 2-0 at the end of today's game, and it should not be underestimated how big that would be for Dallas. They will have defeated both their main threats to the NFC East title in the opening two weeks of the season, which would be a massive platform for them to become the first NFC East team to win back to back division titles since the Eagles in 2004.
Week 2 in the NFL regular season will be another weekend packed full of big games.
No fewer than 14 games will be taking place on Sunday as teams look to try and gain an early advantage in their divisions in the race for the Playoffs.
Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football, the Denver Broncos improved their record to 2-0, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-24. The two teams were inseparable for the opening three quarters, and following a pointless first quarter, both teams scored 14 in the second to leave things 14-14 at half time.
In the second half things remained tight, and a field goal for each team in the third quarter saw the game enter the final quarter with the game still deadlocked.
However, the Broncos finally managed to get their noses out in front, scoring two touchdowns to one in the final quarter to maintain their perfect start to the new season.
But things did not come easy for Peyton Manning and his team. It took Broncos cornerback Bradley Roby to return Jamaal Charles' fumble to score a 21 yard touchdown with just 27 seconds remaining to win the game.
In that game, Manning threw for 256 yards and three touchdowns, the third of which came with just 36 seconds to go to tie up the game and set the stage for the dramatic finale and Roby's final touchdown.
The result will be a difficult one to swallow for the Kansas City Chiefs, who slip to 1-1, as Knile Davis had scored with just over two minutes to go to give the Chiefs the lead. However, it was not to be as the Broncos staged an amazing comeback at the death to extend their win streak over the Chiefs to seven straight games. In addition, Manning improved his personal record against the Chiefs to a stunning 14-1.
Whether today's game will be as dramatic remains to be seen.
