With Mike Vick in the locker room with a concussion the Eagles were forced to turn to backup Mike Kafka to try and mount a comeback in Atlanta.
Kafka completed seven of eight passes on his two-plus possessions, but his one incompletion bounced off Jeremy Maclin’s hands on a fourth down play from the Falcons 23 yardline with less than two minutes to play and ended the Eagles chance to go 2-0 for the first time since the Super Bowl season of 2004.
Philly-area native QB Matt Ryan was harassed all night but still managed to throw for 195 yards and four TDs. RB Michael Turner scored with 4:48 left on his way to a 114-yard game to lead the Falcons to victory.
Ryan's favorite target was tight end Tony Gonzalez. The ageless one caught seven balls for 83 yards and two TDs.
