In a highly-anticipated game, the Atlanta Falcons are heading up to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in a Thursday Night matchup to kick off the 2018 NFL season. The two squads have played each other 34 times since the series started in 1966, and has been fairly even over the last 52 years. Atlanta’s most recent loss is, however, perhaps the most meaningful of the entire series.
Enough about that unfortunate event for now. Let’s dive a little deeper in the series record.
Over the 52 years of this series, the Falcons have a 14-19-1 record against the Eagles and have dropped two consecutive games, and the majority of those losses have taken place in Philadelphia where Atlanta is 6-12-1.
