Today is the day, Falcons fans. Tonight, the Atlanta Falcons will be on the road against the Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles.
In addition to this being the first game of the 2018-2019 NFL season, this is a huge game for the Falcons and their fan base.
If the Falcons are able to get a win over the Eagles then the Falcons would become overnight favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
Beating the Eagles won’t be easy. The Falcons will have to execute at a high-level and avoid backbreaking turnovers. Additionally, Atlanta will need to preform better this season against the Eagles than they did last time they played, which was in the divisional round.
