Philadelphia travels to Atlanta as a much different team than the one that finished in the basement of the NFC East last season. Doug Pederson was fired after last year just three years removed from coaching the franchise to their first ever Super Bowl championship. Also gone is their franchise quarterback and MVP candidate from their Super Bowl season, Carson Wentz.
Now Nick Sirianni takes over with second year quarterback Jalen Hurts as his quarterback. The 40-year-old Sirianni spent the three last seasons as the Colts’ offensive coordinator under former Eagles’ assistant Frank Reich. Despite Wentz being traded to the Colts in March and no real competition being brought in to challenge Jalen Hurts as the team’s number one QB, Sirianni waited until the end of the preseason to officially name Hurts the starter. The now 23-year-old Hurts started just four games for the Eagles last season.
Inactives are as follows:
Eagles: Landon Dickerson (OL), Mac McCain (CB), Rodney McLeod (S), Gardner Minshew (QB), Davion Taylor (LB)
Falcons: Feleipe Franks (QB), Wayne Gallman (RB), Darren Hall (CB), Frank Darby (WR), Ta'Quon Graham (DL)

Aside from the 36-year old Matt Ryan, this game will have fans focused on the young guys. New Falcons’ head coach Arthur Smith has spent the last two seasons as the Titans’ offensive coordinator. Smith will be sure to dial up a healthy amount of targets for rookie tight end Kyle Pitts, who Atlanta took with the fourth overall pick in April’s draft. On the other sideline, the Eagles will have plenty of plays for the 10th overall selection in that same draft, wide receiver DeVonta Smith.

The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $65 per month.
