The Philadelphia Eagles are facing some early season adversity.
The Birds appeared well on their way to a 2-0 start before an ugly collapse late against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football. After a Saquon Barkley drop kept Atlanta's hopes alive, Kirk Cousins and Co. marched down the field with ease for a game-winning touchdown inside the final minute.
Now, Nick Sirianni's team will enter a tough road environment to face the NFL's hottest offense through two weeks in the New Orleans Saints. Following a 47-10 Week 1 rout of the Carolina Panthers, Derek Carr and the Saints went into Jerry World and hung a 40-burger on the Dallas Cowboys in a stunning 44-19 blowout.
Carr has played like an MVP candidate so far, boasting a 142.4 quarterback rating with five touchdowns, one pick and a 76.9 completion percentage. And star running back Alvin Kamara already has five total touchdowns while gaining 5.7 yards per carry.

So can the Eagles' defense contain Carr, Kamara and the Saints' offense enough to leave the Big Easy with a win? Or will the Birds fly back to Philly below .500?
