Atlanta Falcons: Five things we learned in win over Houston Texans

1) Devonta Freeman is good, very good

As explained before, Freeman is really good. Scratch that, he’s extremely good. Freeman has a rare ability to catch the ball just as good as he runs the ball. Amazing seeing that Freeman is just 5-foot-9. Freeman scored another three touchdowns in week 4 to make it back-to-back games with three rushing touchdowns. In fact, Freeman is the first running back to have back-to-back three rushing touchdown games since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006.

Freeman continues to prove people wrong. Freeman is one of the hardest running little guys you will ever meet. The amount of helmet-to-helmet hits Freeman has per game is mind-boggling, no pun intended. His ability to keep his legs churning makes him very special. The Falcons have not had a good running back since the departure of Michael Turner. They just might have found their next star in Atlanta.
