Week 3 Preview
The Atlanta Falcons are coming off of an extremely hot SNF game, playing a dominant defensive game and winning against the Minnesota Vikings with a final score of 22-6. The defense played fantastically, and I expect that to continue throughout this game.
What Should We Expect?
Atlanta’s pass rush will stay hot. With 6 sacks against J.J. McCarthy last week, it’s expected that against a divisional rival with a weaker OL, the pass rush will be making plays. I believe that the secondary will also be making plays, as Bryce Young has known to be pick-happy in the past, especially during the first two weeks of this season. With our extremely talented rookies, our defense will be playing on another level this week.
Our offense, led by Michael Penix Jr. will also be hot, with some of the only problems being that our WRs will be matched up against an extremely talented secondary. The main threat is going to be Jaycee Horn. Drake London should be able to outplay him, but that’s the only worry I have. Our offense will be ripping CAR to shreds. Bijan Robinson should have a day in Charlotte as well, as CAR’s run defense is not the best. We’re going to be deadly, and we need to prove that we can beat these easy teams to show that we aren’t a team to be messed around with.
It should also be noted that our longtime kicker, Younghoe Koo, has been released. Parker Romo will be replacing him for the foreseeable future. This may be a rash decision, but I feel that it was a necessary one. Thank you for your service, Koo.
Taking everything into consideration, my prediction for this game is…
