The NFL has released its 2018 regular-season schedule. Here's a look at what's in store for the Atlanta Falcons.
Breakdown: Despite starting the season with a tough Thursday night road matchup against the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles -- one of three prime-time games -- the Falcons have a favorable early-season slate. They follow the trip to Philadelphia with three consecutive home games against the Panthers, Saints and Bengals. They have the potential to get off to a 3-0 start in NFC South play with a Week 6 matchup against the Buccaneers also at home.
