Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles get holiday assignment against Dallas Cowboys

# TURKEY, TUDDYS, AND TERROR: Jalen Hurts and the Philly Mob Set for Hostile Takeover of Dallas on Thanksgiving 2026 The NFL just dropped a nuclear bomb on the 2026 schedule, and it’s giving major "Main Character" energy. If you thought Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles were content with a Black Friday cameo like they had in 2025, think again. The Birds are officially crashing the biggest dinner party in America. Before the full schedule officially leaks at 7 p.m. CDT Thursday, the league is teasing the fans with the heavy hitters. The verdict? The Philadelphia Eagles are headed to Arlington to ruin the Dallas Cowboys’ appetite. We’re talking a high-stakes NFC East bloodbath at 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 26 at AT&T Stadium. Grab your popcorn and your blood pressure meds, because this one is airing nationwide on FOX. **WANT THE REAL TEA ON THE LEAGUE?

But for Philly, this is a rare holiday appearance. This marks the first time the Eagles have been assigned a Thanksgiving game since 2015. That means the "Bama-to-Philly" pipeline is finally getting its moment in the holiday spotlight. This isn't just any roster; this is the core of the 2024 NFL championship squad. We’re talking about Jalen Hurts, the man with the most ice in his veins in the league, alongside the "Slim Reaper" DeVonta Smith and the human bulldozer Landon Dickerson. Hurts is entering his seventh year as the heartbeat of Philly, while Dickerson and Smith are heading into year six of making defenders look silly. **RELATED: [EAGLES GM CLAPS BACK AT JALEN HURTS HATERS: ‘UNFAIR, UNFORTUNATE’](https://www.205focus.com/sports/2026/04/eagles-gm-on-unnamed-critics-of-jalen-hurts-unfair-unfortunate.html)** But wait, the Bama vibes don’t stop there. The Eagles’ offseason roster is essentially a Tuscaloosa reunion. You’ve got Jihaad Campbell, Cameron Latu, Deontae Lawson, Jaeden Roberts, and Byron Young all fighting for that holiday glory. And let’s not forget Tyler Steen, who locked down that right guard spot in 2025 like a literal vault. If you’re a betting person, the history is screaming "Fly Eagles Fly." Philadelphia owns a staggering 6-1 record on Thanksgiving. Their only blemish was a weird 2015 blowout against the Lions, but this 2026 squad is built different. Need a reminder of how Hurts handles a holiday? Look no further than Christmas 2023. Jalen absolutely dismantled the Giants, throwing for 301 yards, finding Smith for a score, and tucking it himself for a rushing touchdown. The man doesn't just play on holidays; he owns them. Dallas better keep the lights on at Jerry World, because the Birds are coming to eat—and they aren't just looking for stuffing.
