Eagles show reminders of Super Bowl team in 18-12 win over Atlanta Falcons

This might be a new season, but it didn't seem that way in the Eagles' 18-12 season-opening win over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. There were so many reminders of the Super Bowl, from the pregame celebration, to the Eagles taking a late fourth-quarter lead, to the defense making a crucial stop, to Doug Pederson calling a variation of the Philly Special.

And if that wasn't enough, the game was decided just as it was in the Eagles' postseason victory over the Falcons in January – with a Matt Ryan incompletion to Julio Jones in the end zone.
