The Atlanta Falcons (5-1) hit the road to take on the Tennessee Titans (1-4) this week, aiming to match last season’s win total just seven weeks in. The Falcons are heavy favorites, but the Titans aren’t a team to be taken lightly.

Even without rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, Tennessee has a defense capable of slowing down the Falcons’ pass game, and it will likely lean on the ground game to beat Atlanta. For the Falcons, this game is all about getting back on track after a difficult loss to the Saints last week.
