The game with the Eagles is fascinating. Philadelphia has undergone a makeover this offseason, with Nick Foles, Jeremy Maclin and LeSean McCoy all departing.
On the flip side, DeMarco Murray, Byron Maxwell and Sam Bradford could all make their Eagles’ debuts against the Falcons. Oh, and perhaps their latest signing, Tim Tebow will feature…
The Saints will pose a familiar threat for Atlanta. These two teams meet twice every year, and it was the Falcons who got the better of their rivals last season, winning both contests.
The Falcons convincingly beat the Saints in their own stadium in Week 16 last season, winning the contest 30-14.
On Thursday Night Football, they will be facing a New Orleans side without Jimmy Graham, who was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in March.
Here is the list of the two primetime games the Falcons are currently scheduled to play:
Week 1: vs Philadelphia Eagles
Date: Monday, September 14
Kickoff: 7:10 p.m. ET
Channel: ESPN
Week 2: @ New Orleans Saints
Date: Thursday, October 15
