Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys impressing so far

Laura Woods caught up with NFL expert Neil Reynolds to discuss his biggest surprises of the season so far.
Every NFL season provides shocks as the season unfolds, and when asked about his biggest surprises, Neil highlighted the performances of the Atlanta Falcons, who have begun the year 4-1.
"They always say expect the unexpected, and it's very much the case in the NFL. The Falcons have another test this week in Seattle, after seing off last year's Super Bowl finalists in Carolina and now Denver.
"I never saw the Panthers result coming, and against the Broncos they showed they could do it on defence with six sacks."
Neil also talked up the performances of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. Both have started the season with rookie quarterbacks in Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott respectively. Prescott has begun his NFL career without an interception after 155 NFL throws, and if he can complete eight more he will break Tom Brady's record.
