Seven months and two days ago, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, giving Philly its first NFL title since the 1960 season and its first in the Super Bowl era.
Fast-foward to today, and the Eagles host the NFL’s kickoff game for the 2018 regular season. Visiting to help kick off the season are the Atlanta Falcons — the NFC’s Super Bowl representative in 2016 and a team that lost in Philadelphia in the playoffs’ Divisional Round last season.
Like they did in the playoffs last year, the Eagles will be starting Nick Foles at quarterback due to Carson Wentz’s knee injury.
