The Eagles will host the Falcons on “Monday Night Football” with both teams having much to prove. Philadelphia is coming off a big Week 1 win against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil, a matchup that saw the resurgence of new running back Saquon Barkley.
The former New York Giants star signed in the offseason for three-years and $37.75 million, and he more than lived up to it with 132 total yards and three scores against the Packers.
Atlanta surrendered 137 yards rushing in a loss to the Steelers last week, so expect a big game from Barkley. The Falcons will look for a bounce-back performance from Kirk Cousins, their new quarterback signing — who threw for only 155 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against Pittsburgh — to earn a road victory.
