Atlanta came into the Georgia Dome, during week two looking for a win versus Philadelphia to avoid an 0-2 start to the season. Meanwhile, the Eagles wanted to return home 2-0 to open the season with a pair or road dome games. Sunday Night Football, turned into a knock down (literally), drag out, shootout. It was a back & fourth slugfest by two of the NFC's better teams. Atlanta prevailed over Philadelphia 35-31 as both teams head into week 3 with 1-1 records. Tony Gonzalez the future hall of famer, caught 7 passes for 2 touchdowns, he was able to work over the Philadelphia linebackers and safeties. Philadelphia seemed to keep Michael Turner in check until the 4th period, he broke a 61 yard run to set up his game winning touchdown. Philadelphia not only lost a ten point final quarter lead, they loss Michael Vick during the final frame. Vick had a concussion as he banged helmets with his offensive lineman. Jeremy Maclin caught 13 balls for Philadelphia, but dropped a crucial 4th down pass, which basically ended any Eagles comeback. It's possible the two teams could meet once again in the postseason.
