Show Preview

The NFL season opens with a bang, as Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles host the Atlanta Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field on Friday morning. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match, starting from 10:20am AEST.

Nick Foles will begin the season as the starting quarterback for Philly, as Carson Wentz is not yet cleared for contact after his torn ACL last season.

The defending champions have spent the offseason building on an already great side. They’ve added wide receiver Mike Wallace from Baltimore on the right side of the offense.

They will be hard to stop in 2018.

Look for Aussie Jordan Mailata coming off the bench for the champions playing left tackle. The big fella will be wearing number 68.

Quarterback Matt Ryan got the contract extension he was looking for in the offseason and will lead the Falcons in week one.

They have some incredible offensive options in Mohammed Sanu, Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman and will look to capitalise on those men in their push for playoff football.

This will be a tough opening test for the Falcons.
