Atlanta Falcons: Week 2 brings a familiar opponent

Even though the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles have played each season since 2015, the Falcons have only faced Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz once, his rookie year. He led the Eagles to a 24-15 win despite not throwing for a single touchdown.

The Eagles defensive line will be the second-best defensive line the Atlanta Falcons face in 2019, behind the Vikings. While some may let out a sigh of relief, that by no means that Sunday will be easier. Derek Barnett, Timmy Jernigan, Fletcher Cox, and Brandon Graham are elite and will make Sunday as uncomfortable as the Vikings did.
