13 things we learned from the Eagles’ familiar win over the Falcons
The Philadelphia Eagles are now 1-0 on the 2018 NFL regular season schedule after defeating the Atlanta Falcons by a final score of 18 to 12 (recap here). It sure wasn’t pretty, but the Eagles ultimately came up with a big win. Here’s a look at what we learned.
1 - This team still has fight
I really admire this team’s fight. It really felt like a number of people (some Eagles fans included) were counting them out once again. No Carson Wentz, no Alshon Jeffery, no Mack Hollins, no Timmy Jernigan, no Chris Maragos. Super Bowl hangover. How can the Eagles possibly beat a Falcons team that is super motivated to avenge last year’s playoff loss?
By fighting. That’s how.
