These Fort Worth-area schools have had interesting starts to the season. Some have been promising while others have been poor. Is the start of the season a sign for what’s to come?

In the Week 1 win against Detroit last season, Hurts failed to complete a pass on five attempts and the Eagles turned the ball over on downs on the first drive of the game. So maybe it's a pattern. Or maybe Hurts and the Eagles might run into trouble against a revamped Vikings defense under new coordinator Brian Flores.

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles host Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings in their home opener in prime time for the second straight season. Pro Picks doesn't expect another dominant performance from Philly. The Eagles (1-0) and Vikings (0-1) kick off Week 2 on Thursday night at rowdy Lincoln Financial Field where the home fans get to see their starters for the first time since a 38-35 loss to Kansas City in the Super Bowl.

Jalen Hurts threw a touchdown pass and Darius Slay had a 70-yard interception return for a score as the Philadelphia Eagles built a big early lead, then hung on at the finish to beat the New England Patriots 25-20 on Sunday. The Eagles capitalized on two early turnovers by the Patriots, spoiling a day in which New England honored former quarterback Tom Brady at halftime. Hurts was 22-of-33 for 170 yards and the TD but had a costly fumble in fourth quarter that gave the Patriots a chance.

Jalen Hurts slogged through an offensive performance that reminded no one of the dynamic play last season that stamped him as an MVP candidate and led the Eagles to the Super Bowl. “Winning is the only thing that matters,” Hurts said. There are no style points for victories in the NFL, and the Eagles had a full load of reasons why the offense just didn’t click.

Darius Taylor ran for 193 of Minnesota’s 296 yards and a touchdown, and the Gophers pulled away in the second half to beat Eastern Michigan 25-6 Saturday night. Sean Tyler added 93 yards on the ground for Minnesota, which had just 55 rushing yards in last week’s season-opening 13-10 win against Nebraska. Early in the year, Minnesota (2-0) is seeking how to best replace Mohamed Ibrahim, the school’s all-time leading rusher.

Fresno State gained just 364 yards against FCS opponent, after rolling up 487 in season-opening win at Purdue.

The Haslet Eaton high school football game was called early.

After the Rams led 17-2 in the first half, the teams traded blows throughout the second half.
