For the first time in quite a long time, the Philadelphia Eagles will travel to Atlanta for a primetime matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Although these two teams frequently meet, the Eagles haven’t played the Falcons on the road since the Chip Kelly era of coaching.
And that game was surely one we would like to forget. Fortunately, Doug Pederson’s track record against Atlanta is quite promising though. Despite the Falcons being eventual NFC Champions in 2016, one of their few losses came against the Eagles on the road that year.
Then, we all know what happened in 2017, when the favored Falcons came to The Linc for a divisional-round playoff matchup.
