Because they opened the season earlier than the rest of the NFL, the Eagles were able to spend a few extra days basking in the glow of their impressive Week 1 performance against Matt Ryan and the Falcons.
They held the four-time Pro Bowler to his lowest completion percentage (48.8) since 2011 in their 18-12 win, and held him without a touchdown pass for only the sixth time in the last six years.
They sacked Ryan four times and harassed him most of the night. They quashed four of the Falcons' five red-zone challenges and allowed them to convert just four of 15 third-down opportunities.
