New season, same Super Bowl dream
-
Defending champions Philadelphia will entertain Dallas when the 106th NFL season kicks off tomorrow (Friday morning, Thai time) while the Kansas City Chiefs chase a sixth Super Bowl trip in seven campaigns.
The Eagles seek a third trip in four seasons to the championship game behind Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Jalen Hurts at quarterback, star running back Saquon Barkley, a veteran line of blockers and a top receiver group including AJ Brown plus tight end Dallas Goedert.
While Philadelphia, who beat the Chiefs 40-22 in February in Super Bowl 59, lost some key defensive players, the Eagles are considered title contenders once again.
The Cowboys have their own issues after trading star defensive end Micah Parsons to Green Bay last week when they couldn't reach a contract deal.
"I definitely didn't think he was going to get traded," said Cowboys quarterback Zak Prescott, the NFL's top paid player with an average annual salary of US$60 million. "But just with the way that negotiations went down, it seemed like it got personal on their ends."
