    Who’s Playing on Monday Night Football? Game, Start Time for Week 2

    NFL Week 2 concludes with a “Monday Night Football” matchup between two NFC teams hoping to win their division.

    The Philadelphia Eagles host the Atlanta Falcons in a game that will have a major impact on the teams that dominate the NFC East and NFC South races at the start of the season.

    The Eagles are fresh off a 34-29 Week 1 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the NFL’s first-ever Brazilian game. Philadelphia’s offense was stellar in that game, as wideout AJ Brown threw for 119 yards and touchdowns on five catches, while running back Saquon Barkley had 134 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 26 touches in his Eagles debut.

    Philadelphia’s defense wasn’t as strong on the slick field in Sao Paolo, but Vic Fangio’s unit should fare much better at home against an Atlanta offense that struggled in Week 1.

    The Falcons scored just 10 points in their season-opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their defense limited the Steelers to 18 points, but Kirk Cousins ​​didn’t quite have the impact that many Atlanta fans were hoping to see in his debut.

    Cousins ​​completed 16 of 26 passes for 158 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in a shaky outing. Still appearing to be recovering from the torn Achilles he suffered last season, the 36-year-old’s mobility appears to be a question mark heading into the 2024 season.

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

    Who’s playing on Monday Night Football tonight?

    The Falcons (0-1) travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles (1-0) in the second week of ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”

    The Eagles appear to have the edge in this matchup. They have a strong pass rush and the Falcons struggled to contain TJ Watt and the Steelers defense, which allowed seven hits on Cousins. Philadelphia may have more vulnerabilities in its secondary, where it relies on a combination of veterans in the twilight of their careers and recent draft picks. Atlanta could take advantage, but Cousins ​​isn’t guaranteed the time he needs to get the ball downfield.

    The Falcons also have a tough time defending the Eagles. Atlanta has allowed just 127 rushing yards to Justin Fields and Najee Harris, and Philadelphia’s offensive line is in much better shape than Pittsburgh’s. Add to that the fact that Jalen Hurts is a more consistent downfield thrower with better weapons than Fields, and it’s fair to wonder if the Eagles can put together another 30-point outburst against the Falcons.

    That said, the Falcons may be desperate to avoid an 0-2 start, especially with a Week 3 matchup with the Chiefs on the schedule. If Atlanta comes out of the gate with energy and Philadelphia is sluggish after the long trip to and from Brazil, the Falcons could find a way to beat the Eagles and stay in contention in the wide-open NFC South.

    NFL fans can therefore look forward to an exciting battle at the end of Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season.
