White Sox 11, Twins 8 – Defending champs Eagles edge Cowboys 24-20 in wild, lightning-delayed NFL opener
Jalen Hurts rushed for two touchdowns for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who lost their hot-tempered star defender for spitting on Dak Prescott, then withstood a rare weather delay to beat the Dallas Cowboys 24-20 early Friday in a wild start to the NFL season. The Eagles led 24-20 with 4:44 left in the third quarter when the game was delayed 65 minutes because of lightning in the area. The game ended at 12:18 a.m. Hurts wore out a defense without Micah Parsons on TD runs of 4 and 8 yards — no legal tush push needed. Jalen Carter headed right back inside only moments after the championship banner was unveiled for spitting on Prescott.

I want to thank everyone who had my back through all the uncertainty." Clark was injured late in a July 15 game against the Connecticut Sun, and later sustained a bone bruise. She averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 13 games in her second season in the WNBA.
