NFL Week 1: Keys for the Eagles offense vs. Atlanta Falcons

As the Eagles take the field and start preparing for Atlanta, we’ve identified several keys for the Philadelphia offense vs. Falcons

The Eagles will enter Sunday’s season opener at Atlanta the healthiest they’ve been in over two years and that could yield huge dividends on the scoreboard.

The Falcons can be deadly on offense, but they leave a lot to be desired as a defensive unit and Philadelphia could find some early confidence in the passing game.

Here are several offensive keys for Sunday’s matchup.

After a rookie season that saw Sanders improves leaps and bounds on a weekly basis, he’s looking to take it up another notch.

While working out on Wednesday, Sanders looked stronger, more explosive and he definitely wasn’t lacking for confidence as he talked about landing the NFL MVP award this season.
