Atlanta Falcons facing Deshaun Watson at the wrong time

The Atlanta Falcons are at their lowest point since blowing a 25-point lead in the Super Bowl and unfortunately for them, they have to take on a focused and determined Deshaun Watson who has a lot to prove.

Both the Texans and the Atlanta Falcons are coming off of terrible losses a week ago in which neither offense looked good. Both feature great quarterbacks, average running backs, terrible offensive lines and the two best receivers in the league.

There are a lot of similarities between these clubs.

However, the difference Sunday will be Deshaun Watson.

In case you have not seen all the stories this week about Deshaun Watson, here is the summary – he is an Atlanta hometown kid that worked for the Falcons for four years in high school, threw passes to Julio Jones and Roddy White during training camp and wants nothing more than to beat them Sunday.

After the Texans embarrassing loss and Deshaun Watson gave us the best answer ever from a quarterback during his media obligations, he was back on the field at NRG Stadium Sunday night throwing passes with his quarterback coach.

Deshaun Watson wants to be great and the terrible Atlanta Falcons defense is going to pay a price for his performance against Carolina a week ago.

Just when a defense that is among the worst in the league at tackling needed a break instead they get to face one of the best young elusive and intelligent quarterbacks the NFL has to offer, and he is pissed too. The Falcons defense is going to have to play detailed assignment football Sunday or this game will get out of hand faster than any of their previous four games.

Dan Quinn said this week that the team was going to focus more on tackling than they have previously. Unlike previous weeks, their “great of practice” needs to translate onto the field Sunday in Houston or Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins will make Sunday look like a preseason scrimmage and the fire Dan Quinn crowd will become louder than they have been.
