The 2018 season will kick off with a game between two of the NFL’s best rosters, which seems fitting enough. The Eagles are defending Super Bowl champions and the Falcons are the only NFC squad to make the playoffs in consecutive seasons, and even with injuries to Philadelphia, this should be one of the better tilts of the early NFL season.
The biggest questions for the Falcons revolve around better luck and better performance from some of their key players, including Matt Ryan, Vic Beasley, and Desmond Trufant, and whether Steve Sarkisian is the play caller this team wants him to be or not.
