Philadelphia Eagles vs. Indianapolis Colts: Live Score, Highlights and Analysis: In recent years, with the advent of Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football has lost a bit of its luster. No longer is the last game of the week considered a national event, and as such the matchups have sometimes suffered. Well, that isnt the case in Week 2, as Monday Night Football features a pair of division champions, teams with aspirations of playing in Super Bowl XLIX in February. The Philadelphia Eagles got the 2014 campaign off to a good start, even if the team got a scare from the Jacksonville Jaguars, falling behind 17-0 before roaring back to win 34-17. Things didnt go as well for the Indianapolis Colts. Not only did the Colts fall to the Denver Broncos, but suspended linebacker Robert Mathis, who led the NFL in sacks in 2013, tore his Achilles tendon while working out and will miss the entire 2014 season. Its a huge blow to a Colts team that generated zero pass rush against Peyton Manning last week, and now the Colts face another stiff test in quarterback Nick Foles, running back LeSean McCoy and the high-octane Eagles offense. As the Colts try to right the ship and the Eagles attempt to keep the good times rolling, be sure to check back here throughout Monday nights showdown for news, analysis and updates from this potential Super Bowl preview.
