    For an upset to occur, you need contributions from everyone on the roster and on the second drive for the Atlanta Falcons , they got just that. Cornerback Mike Hughes and the Falcons defense ends a 10-play, 55-yard drive that threatened to get into the end zone.

    The Philadelphia Eagles drove the ball well, mostly behind the very large legs of newly acquired running back Saquon Barkley . Barkley and the Eagles offensive line beat up on the Falcons defensive line for 39 yards on four carries, but when it mattered most, Philadelphia put it in the hands of quarterback Jalen Hurts .

    Hurts threw incomplete passes on both third and fourth down, with great plays from Richie Grant on third down and the above stop from Hughes. The Falcons offense get yet another shot to gain some much-needed momentum.
