The Falcons put together a mostly strong performance against the Titans in the first week of preseason, and they now travel to New Jersey for their second test of the preseason. The Jets offer a vastly different look than Tennessee, equipped as they are with a strong ground game and legitimately terrifying defense.
That'll be an excellent test for a Falcons first team offense that carved up the Titans' secondary, and the ground game will give us a better sense of just how good this rebuilt run defense might be. If the team comes out of this healthy, strings together a second straight strong performance, and gets reps for key players on the bubble, it'll be a successful night for all of us. We like successful nights.
Here's a full roundup of our Falcons-Jets coverage to this point, for those who have missed anything.
