The Falcons celebrated their Monday Night Football win over the Eagles like it was the Super Bowl

The Atlanta Falcons had every reason to be thrilled after Monday’s game against the Eagles. With the help of a brutal Saquon Barkley drop, they perfectly executed a two-minute offense to drive 70 yards in 65 seconds to take the lead. It gave Raheem Morris his first win as the full-time Falcons head coach. It gave Kirk Cousins his first win with Atlanta.

The vibes were great all around, and that was so clear when it came time for the locker room celebration.

When Morris entered the locker room at Lincoln Financial Field, he was swarmed by his players who had water bottles ready to go for the celebration.

Week 2 or the Super Bowl? Who is going to tell the difference after that?

But to be fair, the Falcons never win those kinds of games — overcoming the Eagles’ 99 percent win probability. They had every right to be fired up about the win.
