Last Sunday's NFL primetime matchup did not exactly live up to the billing. The Patriots dominated from the start and the Steelers seemingly had no chance.
That should not be the case this Sunday when Philadelphia travels to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to take on the Falcons.
Sure, the Falcons did not exactly light up the scoreboard in Minnesota last Sunday, but who can blame them? Facing off against a challenging defense on the road in the first week of the regular season is not an easy task, and the Vikings got the better of them, winning 28-12. The Eagles, on the other hand, seemed to be heading to a cold night of offense themselves after scoring just seven points in the first half before exploding for 25 in the second half to beat the Redskins 32-27.
Below is all the info you need to watch the Eagles vs. Falcons on Sunday night, including the TV channels and kickoff time.

Who plays on Sunday Night Football tonight?
The NFL's Week 2 "Sunday Night Football" game is the renewal of the "Birds of Prey" rivalry between the Eagles and Falcons, and both teams are off to very different starts.
After again missing several games due to injury last season, Wentz appeared to be in control in Philadelphia in Week 1. He finished the game having completed 28 of 39 passes — three going into the end zone — for 313 yards. He was helped by a breakout performance in the return of longtime Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who donned a green and white jersey for the first time since 2013, and looked just like his old self, catching eight passes for 154 yards. He cashed in on touchdowns twice.
Matt Ryan was forced to make plays for Atlanta without much support from his running game and was spotty for Atlanta. He completed 33 of 46 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw two interceptions. One of those interceptions came in the end zone after Ryan had led his team 82 yards down the field in 13 plays to start the second half. Julio Jones, fresh off a recent contract extension, caught six passes for 31 yards and a touchdown.
But in Atlanta, facing a Philadelphia defense that just gave up 27 points to Washington, the Falcons should be expected to have a better night and could make this a far more competitive Sunday night game than last week's one-sided affair.
