Summary

A live game podcast--from the parking lot, the field, the press box and the locker rooms--from the Eagles' 18-12 season-opening win over Atlanta. Also: Philadelphia defensive end Chris Long and Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins. Long on how the Eagles got so much pressure on Matt Ryan, on how he handled it when the Eagle acquired another great defensive lineman to potentially take his playing time, and how the pressure to perform makes everyone on the Eagles defense better. Cousins on what lessons he learned from the long and winding negotiations in Washington and Minnesota that led him to a fully guaranteed three-year contract with the Vikings, on one the causes he's going to help fun with his newfound riches, and on the pressure to perform with such a strong team around him.

1:04.6	now so the crowd 40 minutes before the game there's hardly an empty seat in the
1:11.3	place this crowd came very, very early and they wanted to be here
1:17.4	to watch every bit of the warm-up of the Philadelphia Eagles.
1:23.0	The defensive line is just coming out on the field in front of me.
1:27.0	And there's Chris Long passing me right now.

1:36.8	championship and the Atlanta Falcons came out about 10 minutes ago they're also
