Through the early stages of the first NFL Sunday of the season, things looked bleak for our Week 2 Sunday Night Football challengers, and bleak might not be harsh enough of a categorization. The Philadelphia Eagles were down 17-0 in the second quarter to a Washington Redskins team that many expected to be among the worst teams in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons couldn’t get anything going on offense and ended the first half sitting at the bottom of a 21-point deficit in their trip to Minnesota.
The Eagles managed to find their footing eventually, coming away with a 32-27 victory behind several deep shots to Desean Jackson, who is back in the City of Brotherly Love and *checks notes* hasn’t lost a step.
