OUTCOME
CONFIRMED FALSEThe Philadelphia Eagles won Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, but only by a margin of 4 points (24-20), far short of the 14-point 'rout' threshold. The game was a back-and-forth contest featuring an early Jalen Carter ejection, multiple lead changes, a weather delay, and Dallas scoring on its first four possessions. Broussard's prediction of a convincing Eagles rout did not materialize.
