Tuesday Opponent Preview: The Atlanta Falcons (yeah, it's late)

Sorry for late post, but It has been a week for me thus far.

The Atlanta Falcons are 2-0, with their last game a 25-24 win over the Packers.

I admit I haven't watched the Falcons yet, so this is just based on stats. The Falcons look like a run heavy team. Bijan Robinson leads the way with 180 yards on 29 carries for 6.2 yards per carry. Sharing carries with Bijan is Tyler Allgeier with 123 yards on 31 carries, for 4.0 yards per carry. So yeah, not only do they like to run the ball, they're good at it too. QB Desmond Ridder through 2 games is 34 of 50 (68%) for 352 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT. Not world beating numbers, but efficient. And when you're run game is that good, you don't put up gawdy QB stats.
