In the first half, the Eagles were outgained 244-125, as the Falcons jumped out to a 20-3 lead. But when the two teams emerged from their respective tunnels for the second half, the game had a starkly different feel.
On the second play of Atlanta’s opening drive of the third quarter, a corner blitz by Nolan Carroll allowed he and defensive end Fletcher Cox get to Matt Ryan for a sack to set up third-and-long.
