The Dallas Cowboys' attempt to play spoiler on Thursday night during the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl celebration came up just short.

The Eagles would earn the 24-20 win over their NFC East rival; however, not all was lost from the game for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys proved they can compete with the top teams in the NFL, and first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer proved his offense is going to look a lot different this season.

According to NFL Pro, wide receiver KaVontae Turpin was used in motion during Thursday night's season opener, 53.8% of his time on the field. That is a career high for Turpin and doubles the percentage of his previous high.

It's safe to say that the offensive philosophy of Schottenheimer is a lot different than former head coach Mike McCarthy, who Schottenheimer coached under for two seasons.

The Cowboys' offense looked a lot different on Thursday night. Some areas were shocking, like CeeDee Lamb's drop issues, while others showed a lot of promise.

It was just one game, and it was a game ruined by a weather delay. However, fans can still take a lot from that game as they have a long wait for the team's Week 2 matchup with the New York Giants.
