The NFL schedule is officially out — and for the Dallas Cowboys, the 2025 storylines are already writing themselves.
It all kicks off on September 4, 2025, when the Cowboys travel to Philadelphia to face the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. But this isn't just another division rivalry. September 4 holds a much deeper meaning — it would have been Dak Prescott’s late mother Peggy’s birthday.
The last time the Cowboys played a football game on September 4th? That was 1995. The same season Dallas won its last Super Bowl.
Shoutout to Attack!OnCowboys (AOC) for bringing this fine piece of context to light — a small detail that makes the start of the 2025 season feel even bigger than it already did.
And that's just the beginning:
• Thanksgiving Day? Cowboys vs. Chiefs — a battle between two of the NFL’s biggest TV draws.
• Christmas Day? Cowboys vs. Commanders — another team who participated in the NFC Championship last season.
• Sprinkle in the Detroit Lions, now America’s new ratings darling, pushing for the Cowboys' historic crown, and you have a season packed with pressure, tradition, and heavyweight matchups.
But it all starts September 4. A night that means more to Dak Prescott than stats, scores, or standings ever could.
And maybe, just maybe, with all the positive history swirling around this season — 2025 might be a little different.
