Start time, channel, how to watch and stream

After last week's heartbreaking loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Eagles (1-1) head to the field to correct course against the New Orleans Saints (2-0) at the Superdome at 1 p.m. on Fox.

Hopefully the Eagles have tinkered with a defense that was picked apart by Kirk Cousins ​​in the final minutes of last week's loss. After two games, the Saints lead the league in scoring, averaging over 45 points per game and scoring on their first 15 possessions. Quarterback Derek Carr appears to be reborn in Klint Kubiak's new offense, with a 142.4 QB rating and five touchdown passes in two games, four of them to running back Alvin Kamara.

The Saints are also aiming for the team's first 3-0 start since 2013.

“They have an explosive running back in Kamara. They're fast at wide receiver. Derek Carr has seen and played a lot of football and when he's in shape, he's in shape,” Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters this week. “They run the ball well, are explosive in the passing game and will be a big challenge in a hostile environment.”

The traditional 1 p.m. kickoff wasn't something Eagles fans saw much after the Super Bowl last season — aside from Week 18, there were only three kickoffs last season. This year, the Birds have fewer national games and have six 1 p.m. kickoffs scheduled, including their next four games. But three of those will be on the road, and the Birds don't return to the Linc until Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 13.

One benefit of this season's schedule is that the Eagles will have much more rest between games. Last season, the Eagles' total rest time differential — the NFL's way of calculating the difference in rest time between teams — was minus 6. This year, it's plus 11, and they are only scheduled to play twice with less rest than their opponents. Unfortunately, because the Eagles are Monday night football, One of those two games is this afternoon against the Saints, who are playing after a full week's break.

Today’s game between the Eagles and Saints is It is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Fox.

Tonight's game will be commentated by two voices familiar to Eagles fans – Joe Davis, who commentated on the Phillies' 2022 World Series on Fox, and Greg Olsen, who was at Super Bowl LVII when the Birds came close to toppling the Kansas City Chiefs. Veteran reporter Pam Oliver will be on the sidelines Sunday.

Olsen had been part of Fox's top NFL team for the past two seasons, alongside Kevin Burkhardt, but was replaced by Tom Brady in the offseason.

“I think the broadcast crews make the viewing experience better, but I don't think they necessarily drive the experience,” Brady told The Athletic's Richard Deitch. “That being said, I hope that after our games, people think, 'I heard two or three things in this game today that nobody has ever explained to me.'”

Eagles-Saints will also be broadcast on the radio on 94.1 WIP, where fans can hear the familiar voices of Merrill Reese and former Eagles receiver Mike Quick. WIP host Howard Eskin will serve as a sideline reporter.
