It is quite a reversal of fortune when the hunter becomes the hunted, as the birds of prey Philadelphia Eagles did in Week 2: In their Monday Night home opener, the Eagles watched certain victory turn into a stunning defeat, as a dropped passed by star running back Saquon Barkley opened the door for an Atlanta Falcons comeback, with an interception by quarterback Jalen Hurts sealing a gut-punch loss.
Hyped as a Super Bowl contender after reaching that game just two years ago, it has been a difficult week in Philadelphia, and there's little relief in sight: Philly's next opponent is the New Orleans Saints, who have gotten off to arguably the hottest start in the NFL thanks to an offense led by new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
After blowing out the lowly Carolina Panthers in a 47-10 rout in Week 1, the Saints got everyone's attention in Week 2 by throttling the mighty Dallas Cowboys, with running back Alvin Kamara running all over Dallas' vaunted defense and quarterback Derek Carr proving just as effective in a convincing 44-19 victory.
