What are the favorable matchups for the Atlanta Falcons in week 4?

When the Atlanta Falcons take on the Washington Football Team it seems like a game where we will find out what this team is. Atlanta is coming off their first win of the season, so this is the best they have felt since before the season started—perhaps that will give them a much-needed boost.

Washington has been struggling just like the Falcons, the two teams only have one win each, both were against the New York Giants.

Atlanta must start fast and take advantage of favorable matchups. They have the skill players to be able to smoke Washington’s secondary, but will the offensive line be able to protect Matt Ryan long enough?

That is the huge question of the game, if Matt Ryan has enough time they can run through a struggling Washington secondary. The strength of their defense, no doubt, comes from their fierce defensive line that might be the most talented in the league.

Atlanta has been able to count on two offensive linemen—Chris Lindstrom and Jake Matthews—but past that it has been anything but consistency.

So here are the matchups that favor the Falcons against the Washington Football Team.
