We've got a long week in front of us, which allows for a final look back at Friday night's win over Green Bay as we also look forward to the Monday Night Football Lincoln Financial Field-opener against Atlanta on September 16.

There are a bunch of things to discuss, so let's dive right into it …

1. If you haven't already, it is time to start placing Lane Johnson's career in the context of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is a five-time Pro Bowl selection and a four-time All-Pro player, so there is that to consider. Also, his longevity is impressive – and he's still got A LOT of football in him. Consider: In his 12th season, Johnson is tied with Jason Peters (2009-20) and Jerry Sisemore (1973-84) for the second-most seasons by an Eagles offensive lineman in the Super Bowl Era (also tied for the most by any Eagles tackle in that span), trailing only Jason Kelce (13 seasons, 2011-23) in that category. Additionally, Johnson on Friday night appeared in his 144th career regular-season game, tying Jon Runyan (2000-08) for the sixth-most by an Eagles offensive lineman in the Super Bowl Era, behind Kelce (193, 2011-23), Tra Thomas (166, 1998-2008), Guy Morriss (158, 1973-83), Sisemore (156, 1973-84) and Peters (148, 2009-20). And oh, by the way, Johnson is still playing great football at right tackle and is the best in the NFL there.

2. The Eagles are one of four NFL teams to win each of their four kickoff weekend contests since 2021, joining Miami, New Orleans, and Tampa Bay. During that stretch, Philadelphia is the only club to accomplish the feat with the same head coach. Head Coach Nick Sirianni became the second head coach in Eagles history to win his first four season openers with the franchise, joining Doug Pederson (2016-19). He is the only Eagles head coach to start 4-0 in season openers without playing at Lincoln Financial Field – at Atlanta, at Detroit, at New England, in Brazil. Philadelphia owns a league-best 12-2 record in season openers dating back to 2011, including an 8-1 mark since 2016 (tied for 1st in the NFL with Kansas City).

"We haven't had a home game in four years as openers," Sirianni said. "So, to be able to go on the road -– I know this one was considered a home game, but I believe it was the farthest we've had to travel. Atlanta wasn't as far as this. But, again, to be on the road and be that far away from home, I'm pleased with how we went out and performed. But, a lot of things to clean up."

3. A.J. Brown – headed for the Pro Football …? Let's hold off on that suggestion, but his career tracking is in rarified air, for sure. Brown eclipsed 6,000+ career receiving yards in his 78th career game. He became just the 14th player in NFL history to total 6,000+ receiving yards in 78 or fewer contests. He had 119 receiving yards on five receptions against Green Bay, marking his 25th career game with 100+ receiving yards.

4. How Saquon Barkley's performance on Friday night stacked up from a historical perspective for the Eagles: Barkley became the first Eagle to post at least two rushing touchdowns and at least one receiving touchdown in a game since running back Jordan Howard on September 26, 2019 at Green Bay. He is the first Eagle to accomplish the feat in a season opener since running back Wilbert Montgomery on September 12, 1982 vs. Washington. Barkley's three touchdowns were the most by an Eagle in a debut since wide receiver Terrell Owens on September 12, 2004 vs. NY Giants. Barkley ran for 109 yards on 24 carries, marking his 18th career game with 100-plus rushing yards.

"With Saquon having that many touches, we'll have a plan for that this week in practice where we can take some of the load off him there. Every time you go into the game – every game is so important in the NFL that it's hard to say – and when he's got a hot hand like that, too – to say, 'Hey, you don't want to keep giving him the ball.' You're trying to win every single game that you play," Sirianni said. "That's our job as coaches to manage that throughout the week during practice. Games will take care of themselves as they go. There will naturally be a game where we throw it 50 times or Kenneth (Gainwell) or Will (Shipley) will have a couple carries. So that will take care of itself throughout the year."

5. Philadelphia's offense produced five plays of 20-plus yards, and a sixth for 18 yards – the touchdown pass to Barkley – and all of those plays came out of the shotgun formation. Not sure what that means, just pointing it out.

6. Monday night's game marks the third straight season the Eagles will face Kirk Cousins as the starting quarterback in a Week 2 game at Lincoln Financial Field in prime time. The Eagles defeated Cousins when he played with Minnesota in the previous two games –Thursday night, September 14 in the 2023 campaign and Monday, September 19 in the 2022 season.

7. Rookie snap count from opener: Cornerback Quinyon Mitchell played 63 snaps (94 percent of the defensive snaps) and 9 special teams snaps, defensive back Cooper DeJean played 6 defensive snaps and 23 special teams snaps, running back Will Shipley played 4 offensive snaps and 17 special teams snaps, linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. played 15 special teams snaps, and wide receiver Johnny Wilson played 10 offensive snaps and 7 snaps on special teams.

Mitchell earned praise from Sirianni on Monday.

"The moment is never too big for him. He's just very calm and very confident. Which you need to be as a corner. You need to have short memories, you need to be confident in yourself because you're on an island out there the entire game. At times during the game. I know there are times where you have help over the top and this and that," Sirianni said. "I just thought his poise in his first NFL game, not surprising. He doesn't get too up, he doesn't get too down. And you saw that during camp. Again, great predictor of how you're going to play in the games is how you practice. So, he's been able to go against A.J. and DeVonta (Smith) throughout the entire camp. That's obviously a huge advantage that he has over different guys, that he gets to play against two of the best receivers in the game every day at practice. He got to do that for OTAs, he got to do that for Training Camp.

"But like I said, the moment is not too big for him. He's very calm and poised when the ball is in the air and it's coming his way."
