Saints host Eagles aiming for first 3-0 start since 2013

The New Orleans Saints are set to host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at 1 p.m. EDT, aiming for their first 3-0 start since 2013. The Saints enter the game with a 2-0 record, having scored 91 points in their first two games, the most by any team in 15 years. Their standout player, running back Alvin Kamara, has accumulated 290 yards and five touchdowns from scrimmage, showcasing his versatility and importance to the team's offense. On the other hand, the Eagles, currently at 1-1, will rely on quarterback Jalen Hurts, who has demonstrated his scrambling ability with 118 rushing yards and a touchdown this season. Hurts has had success against the Saints in previous matchups, rushing for 175 yards and three touchdowns in two starts. The Eagles' offensive strategy will be crucial as they face a Saints pass rush that has already recorded seven sacks in two games. In terms of injuries, the Eagles are dealing with hamstring issues affecting players like Brown and Johnny Wilson, while Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore has returned to practice on a limited basis after missing Week 2. The outcome of this game could hinge on the performance of these key players and their ability to contribute despite their injuries. Historically, the Eagles have won two of the last three regular-season meetings against the Saints, but they have not won in New Orleans since 2007. This matchup presents an opportunity for the Saints to solidify their strong start to the season and for the Eagles to regain momentum after a shaky beginning.
