The conclusion of NFL Week 2 approaches as “Monday Night Football” features a clash between two NFC teams aiming for victory in their divisions.

The Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Atlanta Falcons in a game that could significantly affect the standings in both the NFC East and NFC South divisions.

The Eagles are coming off a thrilling 34-29 victory against the Green Bay Packers, which was the NFL’s inaugural game in Brazil. Philadelphia’s offense performed impressively; wide receiver A.J. Brown notched 119 yards with a touchdown on five receptions, while running back Saquon Barkley amassed 134 combined yards with three touchdowns on 26 carries during his first game with the Eagles.

While the Eagles’ defense was less than stellar on the wet field in Sao Paulo, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s squad is expected to do better at home against an Atlanta offense that faced difficulties in their first game.

The Falcons only managed to score 10 points in their opening day defeat against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their defense performed admirably, limiting the Steelers to 18 points, yet quarterback Kirk Cousins did not deliver the performance many Atlanta fans anticipated in his debut.

Cousins completed 16 out of 26 passes for 158 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions during a shaky performance. It appears that he is still attempting to recover from last season’s torn Achilles, raising doubts about the 36-year-old’s mobility at the start of the 2024 season.

Here’s everything you need to know about the “Monday Night Football” event in Week 2.

Who is playing on Monday Night Football tonight?

• Matchup: Atlanta Falcons at Philadelphia Eagles
• Location: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Penn.

The Falcons (0-1) are heading to Philadelphia to face the Eagles (1-0) in the Week 2 edition of ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”

The Eagles are anticipated to have the upper hand in this game. They possess a formidable pass rush, and the Falcons recently struggled against T.J. Watt and the Steelers’ defense, which registered seven hits on Cousins. Though the Eagles’ secondary has some vulnerabilities—drawing on aging veterans and new draft picks that Atlanta could take advantage of—it’s uncertain whether Cousins will have enough time to push the ball downfield.

Defending against the Eagles is no easy task for the Falcons either. Atlanta recently allowed 127 rushing yards against Justin Fields and Najee Harris, and Philadelphia’s offensive line is stronger compared to that of Pittsburgh. Considering Jalen Hurts is a more reliable downfield passer with superior offensive weapons than Fields offers, it’s reasonable to speculate if the Eagles might achieve another 30-point performance against the Falcons.

Nevertheless, the Falcons might be motivated to dodge an 0-2 start, particularly with a tough game against the Chiefs looming in Week 3. If Atlanta comes out vigorous and Philadelphia shows signs of fatigue after their lengthy trip to Brazil, the Falcons could potentially pull off a surprise victory and stay competitive in the unpredictable NFC South.

In light of this, fans can expect an exciting showdown to conclude Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season.
