PHILADELPHIA -- Matt Ryan threw touchdown passes on Atlanta's first three possessions against Philadelphia and new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, and the Falcons remained the NFL's only unbeaten team with a 30-17 victory over the Eagles on Sunday.

The Falcons improved to 7-0 for the first time in franchise history, while the Eagles (3-4) lost after a bye week for the first time in 14 games under coach Andy Reid since 1999.

Ryan finished 22-of-29 passing for 262 yards and three TDs for his first win against his hometown team in three tries.

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick didn't turn over the ball for once, but he played so-so and failed to beat his former team in his second start against the Falcons since returning to the NFL in 2009.

The Falcons scored on their first six possessions before punting for the first time with 5:35 left.
