Two days from now, we’ll be watching Falcons football. That’s good stuff.
The first matchup of the year pits a quality Seattle Seahawks team, one that might compete for the NFC West crown, against Atlanta in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. There are some worrying names on the injury report, but the Falcons have to be able to show they can slow a quality offense and take advantage of a less-than-stellar defense, or this is likely to be a long season.
Here’s how you can keep up with Sunday’s game.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Seattle Seahawks, Week 1
When: Sunday, September 13, 1:00 p.m. EST
Where: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia
Channel: FOX
Announcers: Adam Amin, Mark Schlereth, Lindsay Czarniak
Streaming: FOXSportsGo
Radio: 92.9 The Game
Key Questions: Is this new-look Falcons defense good enough to put the brakes on one of the league’s better offenses? Will Dirk Koetter and company be able to put together a balanced, effective offense for 2020, beginning with this game? Can Matt Ryan out-pass Matt Schaub?
Prediction: Falcons win, 28-24
