Combing through the NFL schedule release articles this morning for our latest one-liners, I noticed this interesting note from ESPN’s Pat Yasinskas.
He writes that the Falcons may see their October 17 game in Philadelphia as a revenge game.
Apparently Atlanta felt like the Eagles made a point to showcase Michael Vick against his former team.
“The Atlanta brass was too classy to publicly complain about it. But there were plenty of people within the organization who were furious with Philadelphia coach Andy Reid,” Yasinskas wrote.
The Eagles won that game 34-7, with Vick scoring his first two touchdowns since he was released from prison. Atlanta should have a better chance at keeping this one close if Matt Ryan and Michael Turner are available this time around.
