This Sunday’s matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons is shaping up to be a great Monday Night Game. The Eagles, led by Jalen Hurts, are coming off a somewhat shaky Week 1 performance where Hurts committed three turnovers, including two interceptions and a fumble. Despite these errors, Hurts still managed to produce explosive plays, finishing the game with 33 rushing yards and 278 passing yards. Philadelphia’s offense showed a clear disparity in Hurts’ effectiveness when dealing with pressure. He completed just 4 of 13 passes with a 3.8-yard average per attempt under pressure. However, when Hurts had time, he completed 16 of 21 passes, averaging 10.9 yards per attempt and throwing two touchdowns. Atlanta’s defense, known for its passive play in Week 1 against a mobile quarterback, blitzed only 16.7% of the time and avoided man coverage altogether. How the Falcons handle Hurts this week will be key to their defensive game plan.

On the offensive side, Atlanta’s running back Bijan Robinson was a standout performer in Week 1, turning 23 touches into 111 yards. He had 88.5% of the backfield touches, showing that the Falcons are committed to giving him a heavy workload. Philadelphia’s defense struggled against running back runs in Week 1, allowing 119 yards on explosive runs, ranking them 31st in the league in that category. Atlanta will likely aim to exploit this weakness with Robinson’s strong running game. With both teams showing strengths and vulnerabilities in different areas, this game could come down to how well each team adapts to the other’s strategy on both sides of the ball.
