The Atlanta Falcons are halfway through their 2015 preseason. The team dropped game two at the hands of the New York Jets 30-22 but it was what the first team did that made an impression on the game. The Falcons’ first team continues to destroy everything in their sight. Matt Ryan has only one in-completion in the two games and has two touchdowns through the air.
The first team defense has played great as well. The first unit has not allowed a touchdown in the two games played and has been highlighted by several key players on the defensive side of the ball.
The backup quarterback job is starting to heat up as well. Sean Renfree and T.J. Yates traded off drives after the departure of Ryan with both quarterbacks playing decent, but both with some mistakes. Renfree just might have the edge at the moment, but T.J. Yates will have two more games to improve on what has been a terrible preseason for him.
The Falcons had several winners in game two against the Jets. Lets take a look at who those players were.
