The Falcons (1-0) have finished 4-12 and 6-10 over the past two seasons, but they kicked off their 2015 campaign in impressive fashion, with a home win over the Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) on Monday night.
Speaking of NFC East opposition, Washington (0-1) also opened up its 2015 season with a loss, meaning Dallas sits atop the division at 1-0. The Cowboys visit the Eagles this Sunday, but will do so without wide receiver Dez Brant, who fractured a bone in his foot and is out 4-6 weeks. Washington hosts St. Louis.
