Why the 2018 Week 1 tilt against the Eagles does and does not give us hope for the Falcons defense

Here’s a fun fact: In the Falcons’ 2017 playoff game against the Eagles and subsequent Week 1 2018 opener against Philly, their opponent managed a combined 33 points. In both their brutal beatdown of the Vikings and Super Bowl win over the Patriots, the Eagles scored more than 33 points. To add on to that, only two other teams held the Eagles to fewer points during the regular season than the 18 Philadelphia squeaked by Atlanta with in Week 1.

I bring this up because, well, Will McFadden at AtlantaFalcons.
