Atlanta Falcons: The one matchup that will decide who wins Sunday

The best non-QB matchup will take place between the Atlanta Falcons and Saints.

You can count on one hand the number of times that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and New Orleans Saints quarterback haven’t faced each other when these two teams take the field. While Brees will not be on the field tomorrow, there is still a great reason to tune in and watch this game.

It may be hard to sell a non-Falcons or non-Saints fan on watching this game, but if you are an NFL fan you know there is a matchup in this game that will ultimately determine the winner and it happens to be one of the best matchups football fans could ask for.

Deion Jones versus Alvin Kamara.

The best cover linebacker in the NFL versus the only running back in the league that leads his team in rushing and receiving yards. This is a dream matchup for football fans and whichever players win this matchup will lead their team to victory Sunday afternoon in New Orleans.

Coming into Sunday, Alvin Kamara has nearly 500 yards rushing and 650 yards receiving, and a total of 11 touchdowns. With Taysom Hill making his first start in the NFL as an actual quarterback, he is going to rely heavily on the Atlanta native as he attempts to win his first NFL game behind center.

Deion Jones is on track to having a career season for the Atlanta Falcons.

When you have the worst defense in the NFL, no matter how well you play, no one notices and that has essentially been the 2020 season for Deion Jones.

Through nine games, he has 57 tackles, one interception, five passes defended, seven tackles for loss, and six quarterback hits.

He will have an opportunity Sunday against Kamara to stake a claim as one of the league’s best overall linebackers despite the defense around him. If Jones plays as well as he has all season, the Atlanta Falcons will win this game in New Orleans and they should do so in a convincing fashion.

No one knows what to expect out of Taysom Hill this weekend but we can be sure, that he will try to use Alvin Kamara as much as possible and it will be up to Deion Jones to make him a nonfactor.
