The Falcons have not been good of late, dropping their last three games. It may be too late for the playoffs, but it’s never too late to show that you’re still a capable, tough football team. Beating the Ravens would do wonders for this team’s self-esteem and perception, even if the win doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things and would damage Atlanta’s draft stock.
Of course, Baltimore won’t just roll over. They’re hot with Lamar Jackson under center and have the talent to be one of the best NFL defenses every week, which means they’re likely to give the Falcons fits even at home. My hope is that the offensive line somehow solidifies with the addition of Zane Beadles—I know, I know—and the Falcons return to their triumphant form
If you’re fixin’ to watch this, as I know you are, here’s what you’ll need to know.
