Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season is finally here, and we’ve got real NFL football awaiting us tonight. The Falcons open things up against the Eagles on Sunday in what, on paper, looks to be one of the easier games on the schedule. Both teams have gone through a significant amount of change over the past offseason, and will be hoping their respective coaching and personnel adjustments will pay off.
The Falcons haven’t won a season opener since 2017, when they defeated the Chicago Bears 23-17 on the back of some 4th down heroics from edge rusher Brooks Reed.
