Philadelphia Eagles v New York Jets
Philadelphia Eagles v New York Jets

The Philadelphia Eagles had a rather odd offseason in which Carson Wentz was traded to the Colts. Now this is Jalen Hurts' team and his first opponent is an Atlanta side on the rebuild.

With Matt Ryan under center but no Julio Jones, the Falcons still boast some offensive power, particularly Calvin Ridley and draft pick tight end Kyle Pitts.
