The Philadelphia Eagles get the Atlanta Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field this week. Kickoff is set for 1:00 PM ET and the game can be seen on FOX. Philadelphia has a 3-2 record. Atlanta sports a 4-1 overall record and 2-1 away record.

Last week, the Eagles picked up a narrow 27-24 victory over the 49ers. LeSean McCoy carried the rock 18 times for 92 yards and one touchdown. Kevin Kolb also contributed by going 21 for 31 for 253 yards while finding the end zone once and throwing no picks. In their previous outing, the Falcons brought down the Browns, 20-10. John Abraham recorded five tackles and two sacks. Another solid outing came from Roddy White, who scored once on top of 101 yards on five catches.

The Eagles may need added help for their running defense against Atlanta, who average 148.8 yards per game, second in the league.
