The Atlanta Falcons are headed to take on a New York Jets team that just got their first win with new quarterback Zach Wilson. New York took an injured Tennesee team to overtime and won the game because the Titans played for the tie instead of the win.

There was no urgency or respect from the Titans and the Jets took care of business on Sunday. Atlanta cannot overlook this Jets team. Wilson is starting to show flashes of the quarterback he could become and the Jets defense is playing above their talent level.

Add in the fact that Atlanta is traveling to London and this game isn’t going to be the easy win it appeared to be when the schedule was first released. Atlanta is going to have to stay locked in and execute offensively keeping the ball out of Wilson’s hands.

The Atlanta Falcons are only marginally better than the New York Jets

Atlanta is the better roster but there isn’t a lot separating the two teams. Atlanta has the more talented veterans while the Jets have better building blocks for their future. Atlanta needs to have a great game plan and stay locked in on this young team that now knows they can pull off the upsets.
