A week after looking confused in New York, the Philadelphia Eagles defense was in total control Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Aside from allowing a 76-yard touchdown pass from the hand of Falcons QB Matt Ryan, the Eagles dominated the red-hot Atlanta offense. It’s clear that the Eagles are much more comfortable playing at home than on the road. The team is undefeated at home. All four of their losses have occurred on the road.
The Eagles held Atlanta to just 11 first downs on Sunday afternoon.
