The importance of this game is even greater considering the Bucks only have a short week to deal with the aftermath. Immediately after Sunday’s game, the team must shift its attention to Thursday Night Football against the Falcons in Atlanta in a few days. This is clearly a game with future division title implications, and it’s an important game for the new Falcons as they look to live up to the “Favorite of the NFC South” tag they were given in the offseason.
But first things first. The Bucks will face a talented Eagles team, and both teams will need to overcome key injuries to avoid falling to 2-2. For Bowles and his team, winning this game is important not only in terms of their overall record and record, but also because it’s a home game and against an NFC opponent.
