FALCONS+VS+EAGLES

On a rainy Thursday night in the beginning of fall, begins the new football season. The game was set to be a good one, the reigning super bowl champs vs a familiar foe, the Atlanta falcons. Both teams met last year in the playoffs only for the eagles to inexplicably win. How did they win? Their defense shot down the falcons in the red zone for field goals. They say history repeats itself and it did in this case. The falcons found it hard to score against the talented eagles team which gave the eagles offense time to come back and strike. Towards the end of the game the eagles were up by 6 and the Falcons were driving. And then they reached the redzone 3 straight incomplete passes lead to fourth down. With the game on the line they throw it to their best player, Julio Jones, and very much like the last time they met, it was to no avail.
