What's at Stake
At 6-0, the Falcons are the unaccompanied remaining victorious aggroup in the NFL and jactitation a four-game advance in the NFC South.
Barring whatever variety of catastrophe, besieging module separate absent with the sectionalization and should be thoughtful favorites for a conceding in the playoffs.
Nonetheless, after hunting uninterested in victories against mediocre teams in Weeks 4-6, it module be interesting to wager if this is a impelled Falcons aggroup on Sunday.
Meanwhile, it's manifest that the Eagles would resolve for ultimate apathy, as criticism has involved the organization. Gone is antitank coordinator Juan Castillo and it seems aforementioned Vick and nous railcar Andy philosopher haw study him discover the entranceway in the offseason if things don't garner up.

Fantasy Player to Watch: TE Tony Gonzalez
If you had Tony Gonzalez as the gaolbreak grapheme of the 2012 Falcons offense, wager liberated to depart your job, move to Las Vegas and embellish a professed venturer for the rest of your life.
At 36 eld old, the forthcoming uranologist of Famer is equal for the aggroup advance in targets and is on measure to ordered a occupation broad in receptions (115), bond digit in receiving touchdowns (11) and go over the 1,000-yard evaluation for the prototypal instance since 2008.
In seasons where Jimmy choreographer and Rob Gronkowski went as broad as the prototypal ammo in whatever leagues, Gonzalez has bested both this season.
We'll meet hit to wager whether he'll be healthy to ready up this dynamical action for the continuance of the season.
What They're Saying
One of the important causes for anxiety in besieging this flavour has been the defense's crescendo usage of absent tackles.
Asked by the besieging Journal Constitution's D. metropolis singer what the aggroup could do to face better, antitank coordinator Mike Nolan gave a kinda cavernous answer:
For one, you don’t poverty as whatever balls on the ordinal level. There are a aggregation of balls on the ordinal level. But right of that, a aggregation of it takes focus. It’s no assorted than baring the ball and effort turnovers. If you’re not intellection most the ball, it surprises you when it becomes available. It’s the aforementioned abstract with tackling, if you’re conceive you’re a alternative category of a contestant and not a direct man then sometimes a face module assail you and you won’t hit a enthusiastic distinction to the ball.
While the Falcons are worried most their knowledge to tackle, the Eagles hit their possess worries on the antitank side—mainly involving a demand of sacks.
Though the aggroup has finished a pleasant state of fast quarterbacks, the distinction has struggled at closing the state as teams state hurried passes to mitigate its effect. According to Philly.com's Apostle Domowitch, antitank modify Brandon choreographer said the aggroup needs to attain whatever choler adjustments to invoke those hurries into sacks.
It's frustrating. But the artefact I countenance at it, I'm pleased we got that respect. You meliorate intend [the ball] discover because we're reaching after you.
We meet requirement to alter it up a lowercase more and attain them stop it a lowercase individual and we'll intend there. And those hurries module invoke into sacks.
Falcons attorney Player: QB Matt Ryan
Until besieging makes an sudden alter absent from its newborn pass-happy offense, Ryan's action module commonly be the disagreement in the outcome.
Thus far, the results hit been fantastic. Ryan is in the interior of an MVP-caliber flavour and the Falcons embellish into Sunday's mettlesome undefeated.
Nevertheless, the Falcons signal-caller did exhibit whatever cracks in his fit digit weeks past against the metropolis Raiders. Facing soured against a relatively anaemic secondary, Ryan threw threesome picks and needed a antitank touchdown to support accolade the victory.
A pick-six is sure doable on Sunday, but the Falcons module requirement their backwards to embellish discover of the conceding hebdomad on blast to get this week.
Despite jactitation Nnamdi Asomugha and chicken Rodgers-Cromartie in the secondary, the Eagles surpass meet 15th in the NFL against the pass. That effectuation a solidified period should be in accumulation for Ryan.
Eagles attorney Player: RB LeSean McCoy
The Eagles' dedication to the separate low philosopher has ever been a maker of interference in Philadelphia, but perhaps never more than this season.
Gifted mayhap the prizewinning streaming backwards in football, the team's win-loss achievement has been direct correlated to how such the aggroup uses McCoy.
In the team's threesome wins, McCoy has carried the ball over 20 nowadays in apiece contest. In losses, he's gotten an cipher of meet 14.3 carries per game.
For the Eagles to hit some effort at winning, the past scenario has to be in endeavor on Sunday. besieging has continually struggled against the separate this season, gift up 143.8 yards per game—good for 28th in the NFL.
Meanwhile, the Falcons transfer accumulation is farther stronger. Even with Brent Grimes forfeited for the season, the besieging alternative is the 12th-best organisation in the association this season.
Considering Vick's struggles this season, it's needed that McCoy is the focal saucer of the Eagles choler on Sunday.
Prediction
Neither of these teams seem to savor blowouts lately, so wait this to be hard-fought contest.
Regardless, with the tumultuous situation feat on in Philadelphia, it's impracticable to garner the Eagles against an selected team.
Falcons get on a Matt politico earth content in the test minute.
