#2. Win Every Quarter On The Scoreboard

The scoring aspect falls clearly on the offense that has been producing points all season. The Atlanta Falcons are the only team in the NFL averaging more than 30 points per game. Atlanta’s offense also ranks 2nd with 2.3 passing touchdowns and 1.2 rushing touchdowns per game and is #1 with 52.7% scoring efficiency.

Continuing the efficiency won’t be easy with Mohamed Sanu out and Julio Jones extremely limited. A lot of pressure falls on offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan quarterback Matt Ryan, and running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. The Atlanta offense is also equipped with enough depth assets to score points, touchdowns or field goals, and not give the Rams any ounce of hope.

It will also be up to Atlanta’s defense to hold off the Rams offense, stuff drives, and force turnovers. The Rams are a team that is extremely young across the board and is in need to find some type of spark. That spark wait till next week.
