Still licking their wounds following a heartbreaking loss last Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles will need to recover quickly as they’ll take on the undefeated New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Caesars Superdome. The Saints have made a strong impression early this season after posting two dominant wins over the Carolina Panthers 47-10 and the Dallas Cowboys 44-19. After two games, Derek Carr already covered 443 passing yards with 5 touchdowns and 1 interception, and running back Alvin Kamara ran for 198 yards on 35 carries with four touchdowns. Their defense also showed promise, holding their first two opponents to an average of 14.5 points – the fourth-lowest points allowed per game in the NFL. The Eagles were on their way to their second win of the season when tragedy happened in the final seconds of their game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday. After the Eagles took a 21-15 lead off a Jake Elliott field goal with 1:39 left on the clock, quarterback Kirk Cousins spearheaded a frantic final brace for the Falcons, which culminated in a seven-yard TD pass to Drake London and Younghoe Koo’s field goal that sealed the comeback win for the Falcons. The Falcons’ rally left the Eagles and their fans stunned at Lincoln Financial Field, dealing them their first loss this season.
