Monday Night Re-cap

The Falcons 14-10 win over their rival birds, the Philadelphia Eagles, was a great way to start off the season and get revenge for their NFC championship loss to the birds last year. This is the third straight victory in a season opener for the Falcons.

Before the game started, a fight broke out between the Eagles' Jeremiah Trotter and the Falcons' Kevin Mathis. The scuffle led to both players being removed from the game before warm ups were over.

The Falcons scored all of their 14 points in the first quarter. Michael Vick ran for the first touchdown, and completed a long pass to Alge Crumpler to set up the second touchdown. T.J. Duckett finished the drive by breaking through the Eagles defense to score a touchdown. After that, the Eagles were able to shut down the Falcons' offense, but could only come up with a touchdown and a field goal by the end of the 4th quarter.

During the game, McNabb suffered a minor chest injury after taking a helmet to the chest as he was throwing a pass intended for Terrell Owens. The pass was then intercepted by DeAngelo Hall, who did a good job of limiting Owens' receiving yards.

Next Sunday the Falcons will travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. I'm hoping for another Atlanta Victory.
