Week 1 was a disaster for the Atlanta Falcons. Philadelphia narrowly averted a crisis, as the Eagles narrowly escaped with a win against an inferior team. They’ll both be looking to put on a much better showing in primetime when the Falcons and Eagles meet for Sunday Night Football.

The Eagles needed 11 fourth-quarter points to put away Washington last week, while the Falcons were simply dominated by the Vikings. Minnesota only had to throw the ball 10 times in their rout of Atlanta.

Atlanta is going to have to make some serious adjustments if they want a better result in Week 2. Offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter has been criticized for forcing the ball to no-name pass catchers like Luke Stocker instead of star wideout Julio Jones. Though QB Matt Ryan threw for 300 yards, he also lobbed two picks. 

On defense, Atlanta had no answer for the Vikings’s Dalvin Cook. Thankfully for the Falcons, Philadelphia’s tandem of Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders feels less intimidating. Resurgent veteran Darren Sproles led the Eagles in Week 1 with on 47 yards on the ground.

Despite their early struggle, the Eagles have a lot more to smile about going into Week 2. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson seems back to his old self, going for over 150 yards in his 2019 debut. Tight end duo Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert look promising as well.

Though there are some quibbles with Philadelphia’s Week 1 effort, with a weak secondary, soft pass rush, and a slow start, the most important thing is that  Carson Wentz looks healthy and ready to dominate the league.

Both Sling Blue ($25 per month) or Sling Orange + Blue ($40 per month)  include NFL Network and a number of sports channels—like three ESPN channels, NBCSN, and FS1—and it’s still a nice perk that Sling subscribers can order a la carte packagesSling TV also offers a special Latino package for bilingual viewers. Sling TV is currently offering a deal where you can subscribe for 40% off the regular price for the first month of your subscription. That means Sling Blue would cost $15, and Sling Orange + Blue would cost $25. (Here’s a complete guide to Sling TV channels and our Sling TV review.)

For $10 extra per month, you can get NFL RedZone via the Sling Blue Sports Extra package.

How to use AirTV with Sling

AirTV solves one of the Sling’s biggest problems: The inability to receive all of your local channels. By purchasing a basic AirTV for $79.99 or the AirTV Player for $119.99, you can merge those local channels into your Sling TV, (or on your mobile device if you have the basic AirTV). As the Daily Dot wrote in its AirTV review, “It’s practically magic.”

The basic AirTV is a dual-tuner streaming device, while the AirTV Player is basically an upgraded Chromecast that has Netflix preinstalled. You’ll still need to own an HD antenna because even though AirTV gets you access to your local channels, it doesn’t actually physically show them to you.

But AirTV—which has no monthly fee—serves to strengthen one of Sling’s biggest weaknesses compared to other live streaming services like Hulu with Live TVYouTube TV, and PlayStation Vue. All those services have plenty of local channels.

From there, you can also add NFL RedZone as part of the $10-per-month Sports Pack, which also unlocks ESPN Bases Loaded, ESPN Classic, Longhorn Network, Outside TV, and NBCUniversal regional sports networks. You can see the full list of PlayStation Vue channels here.

Eagles vs. Falcons: Why it matters

It’s easy to write off Week 1 as a fluke, and both teams are hoping the old cliche is true for them.

The Falcons will look to put together a performance worthy of their talent roster. In particular, they need Matt Ryan and running back Davonta Freeman to play up to expectations.

Philadelphia can’t afford to start slow again. They had trouble with the Redskins, and if they give up early momentum to players like Julio Jones, they may find themselves in a hole they can’t climb out of. The Eagles found themselves down by 17 points last week before turning things around. Coach Doug Pederson doesn’t want to let that happen again. 

This game is going to tell us a lot about the identity of both of these teams. Does Matt Ryan still have enough in the tank to keep up with the other high flying NFC South offenses like the Saints and the Panthers? Will this Eagles team be able to keep pace with a Cowboys team that looked absolutely dominant last week?

For these two teams, the season might just come into focus under the lights of Sunday Night Football.
