Here’s everything that you’re going to need to get you ready for the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, and we do mean everything (except for the tickets of course).
On September 14th of 2015, Philadelphia Eagles fans were still suffering through the Chip Kelly era. Eagles fans hoping for some early season momentum had their hearts broken by the Atlanta Falcons thanks to a 26-24 loss at the Georgia Dome.
Doug Pederson was hired by the Eagles on January 18th of 2016. They haven’t lost to the Falcons since.
Pederson is 3-0 versus Atlanta, but every single one of those games was played in the friendly confines of Lincoln Financial Field. This one’s in prime time. It’s on national television (Sunday Night Football). It’s on the road. This is the Eagles’ first trip to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and they get a Falcons team that got embarrassed in Week 1 of 2019’s season.
Here’s a preview, courtesy of the NFL’s official YouTube channel:
Can the Falcons upset the Eagles? We’ll know soon enough.
