The Philadelphia Eagles vs New Orleans Saints game will be played today.If there’s any team the Philadelphia Eagles will have a difficult time rebounding from after Monday’s heartbreaking loss, its the New Orleans Saints. Philadelphia heads to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday to face a New Orleans offense that is one of the best in NFL history after two games.
The Saints have scored on 16 of 21 drives this season, the highest rate (76.2%) by any team through two games dating back to 2000. They have scored on Derek Carr’s first 15 drives this season — the longest streak by any quarterback to begin a season since at least 1978. The Saints have 44+ points in three straight games dating back to last season and have 91 points through two games, tied for the fourth-most through two games in NFL history.
The Eagles defense has picked up where it let off last season, allowing a league worst 6.4 yards per carry and ranking 28th in sack percentage at 4.5%. The offense will be without A.J. Brown (hamstring) for the second straight week and Jalen Hurts has 24 giveaways in his last 19 games — tied for the most in the NFL.
Philadelphia is looking to avenge its fourth blown lead in the final two minutes of a game in order to get to 2-1, while New Orleans is seeking to continue its high-flying start and prove its one of the top teams in the NFC.
