Unfortunately, Not many teams are able to recover from 0-2. That’s something 16 teams are aware of heading into Week 2. Every win is obviously important, especially when playing in a competitive division like the NFC South, where the Buccaneers clung to life on Thursday night and the Panthers are on life support.
That’s one of the several reasons behind what makes the Falcons’ home-opener against the Eagles so crucial. The recent history between both teams is well-documented. It’s clear the Falcons are “pissed off” coming off their embarrassing performance in Minnesota. It’s clear no extra motivation is needed.
