The Atlanta Falcons are ready to open the 2021 season taking on their old rival out of the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Falcons are coming off a disappointing string of seasons that led to the firing of head coach Dan Quinn and General Manager, Thomas Dimitroff. With the new regime in place, the Falcons hope to finally get quarterback Matt Ryan back to the Super Bowl.
The Eagles finished 4-11, last place in the NFC East, and will also bring a lot of new faces with them to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
