Every Wednesday during the season, I like to reach into the past for the week’s opponent and talk favorite opposing player, favorite memory, or who you’d poach from that opponent’s roster if you had the chance. This year, we’re going to talk about defining moments.
For the Falcons and Eagles, who have met 36 times in total, that moment may well depend on when you became a fan. From the 1960s through 1980, Atlanta pretty consistently fared well in those matchups, but things shifted from there and Philly has become one of the most frustrating non-divisional opponents for the Falcons to play.
