The Eagles' defense will be faced with as tough a challenge as it will see all season long on Sunday against Matt Ryan and this Atlanta Falcons offense. This is the same scheme that the Falcons utilized to pick up nearly 400 yards of total offense in a 26-24 victory over the Eagles to kick off the 2015 season. Julio Jones caught nine passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns that night. The Falcons ran for 105 yards, one of their lowest outputs on the ground in the entire season.
Since then, the Atlanta rushing attack has fully blossomed in offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan’s image.
