After a disappointing season, big changes were made to the Eagles. The team made a head coaching switch to Nick Sirianni, who was the Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator. They also traded Carson Wentz to the Colts, committing to Jalen Hurts as the starting quarterback. For the rest of the team, Philadelphia mostly hopes they can get and stay healthy, which has not been the case recently.
The Falcons also made a head coaching switch, hiring Arthur Smith. They also traded away one of the best players in franchise history in Julio Jones. Injuries continue to be a problem for Atlanta as well, but the Falcons were involved in many close games last season. They are hoping a coaching switch results in better decision-making and winning these coin flip games.
