#3: Atlanta Falcons

It’s so easy to forget that the Atlanta Falcons actually gave the Eagles offense the most problems in the playoffs last January. They only managed 15 points. If not for a prime defensive effort that smothered Matt Ryan to just 10, things could’ve been so different. Now there’s reason to believe that Falcons team is even better than they were before.

Their defense appears deeper and healthier than last season and now they’ve added 1st round pick Calvin Ridley to an already loaded passing attack. They know they can compete with the Eagles on the field. All they have to do is get another opportunity.
