It is time for Monday Night Football in the city of brotherly love. Philadelphia Eagles led by their QB Jalen Hurts will square off with the Atlanta Falcons and Kirk Cousins at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The Eagles won in week one and the Falcons lost to the Steelers.
The first ever NFL game on Brazilian soil was played in week one. The Eagles won against the Green Bay Packers, 34 - 29 at the Corinthians Arena in Sao Paolo. The Eagles defence was far from solid in Brazil and it needs to get better. Jalen Hurts had 278 passing yards, two touchdown passes and two interceptions. The running back, Saqoun Barkley, had 24 carries, 109 rushing yards and three TDs. Not a bad debut for his new team to say the least about it. The receiver AJ Brown had a good game with 119 yards, one TD and 5 rec.
Davonta Smith had 84 yards and 7 rec. AJ Brown will be out this week. That is not the best news for the Eagles and Davonta Smith would have to step up a bit or two. Brown being out doesn't concern the bookies in Las Vegas too much. They still have the Eagles as the heavy favourites in this matchup. The key players in defence for the Eagles Devin White, Bryce Huff and Josh Sweat. Eagles defence must be much better in this game than it was in the first week of the season. If that is not the case, perhaps the Falcons could steal the game from the home team.
Kirk Cousins (came from the Minnesota Vikings) is the new QB for the Atlanta Falcons and his debut didn’t finish the way he wished it would. The Steelers beat the Falcons 18 - 10. Cousins had 155 yards, one TD and two interceptions. Kirk made 16 out of 26 passes. Bijan Robinson (running back) had 18 carries for 68 yards. The wide receiver Ray - Ray McCloud III had 4 rec and 52 yards. As many times before the Steelers defence won them the game.
The Falcons have really struggled with the Eagles lately. Philly has won four out of the five last games between them. The Philadelphia Eagles have put up 109 points to The Falcons 67 points in these five matches. Perhaps things will be a bit different this time around with Kirk Cousins as the QB. Kaden Ellis and Richie Grant are two of the key players in defence for the Atlanta Falcons. They are two great tacklers and sackers. These two really need to have a great game if the Falcons aim to win this matchup.
