The Atlanta Falcons (4-1) come into Dallas down a key member of their secondary in Brian Williams, the former Jaguar and favorite of coach Mike Smith. Williams injured his knee in last Sunday nights win at home against the Chicago Bears.
 The Cowboys (3-2) come into the game off of their bye week and look avoid a  possible .500 record  in a very tough NFC East battle.  The ‘boys boat the 3rd rated running game against a Falcons run defense that has been much improved since their loss at New England.

A really tough win in Atlanta, a very tough win. All I can say is that the Falcons got all they could handle in a game that seems all too real as something that could have gone very very wrong.

 The Falcons were not given much chance in this game by the local and national media. NFL Network said this would be the game to determine if the Falcons or the 49ers were ready to be taken seriously. Well, [...]
