The 1972 Miami Dolphins might be getting nervous. The 2012 Atlanta Falcons crushed the Philadelphia Eagles 30-17 to improve to 7-0. The Falcons are the only undefeated team in the league. It was the first time that the Eagles had lost after their bye week under Andy Reid.
Matt Ryan passed for three touchdowns to three different receivers and Matt Bryant kicked three field goals for the Falcons.
The Falcons defense held the Eagles without a 300 yard passer, 100 yard rusher, and 100 yard receiver. The Eagles were only 6-13 on third down and 1-4 on fourth down.
Next week, the Falcons (7-0) are home to play the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, and the Eagles (3-4) will travel to New Orleans to play the Saints on Monday Night Football.
