Philadelphia marched into Atlanta's redzone, using a Saquon Barkley-led rushing attack to set itself in prime scoring position. But the Falcons' defense, which didn't allow a touchdown in Week 1, held strong, and forced an incompletion on 4th and 4 to give the ball back to Cousins and the offense.

The two sides traded punts once more. The Falcons closed the quarter. with a 19-yard completion from Cousins to London over the middle.
