The Eagles stayed home for a duel with their historic rival undefeated 6-0 Falcons.  Played under cloudy skies, the game was also notable in that the weather conditions heralded the approach of Hurricane Sandy, a storm set to make an unprecedented landfall in nearby New Jersey.  In the first quarter, the Falcons drew first blood as Matt Ryan found Drew Davis for a 15-yard pass to make the score 7-0.  The team increased their lead with Ryan finding Jason Snelling to make it 14-0.  In the 2nd quarter, the Eagles would get on the board with LeSean McCoy's 2-Yard run to make it 14-7.  However, the Falcons responded with Ryan's 63-yard TD pass to Julio Jones to make it 21-7.  The Falcon would increase their lead before halftime with Matt Bryant's 43-yard field goal to make it 24-7.  The Eagles would try to rally in the 3rd quarter with a 33-yard field goal from Alex Henry to shorten the lead to 24-10, but the Falcons pulled away as Bryant would kick a 29-yard field goal to make it 27-10.  In the 4th quarter, Bryant increased the Falcons' lead with a 30-yard field goal to make the score 30-10.  The Eagles tried to rally as Michael Vick found McCoy to make the score 30-17.  However, the Eagles were unable to try to attempt a comeback win as the team dropped to 3-4 on the season.
