3 Atlanta Falcons who must step up against the Dallas Cowboys

3. Atlanta badly needs any of their pass rushers to step up and make Dak uncomfortable

Choosing one pass rusher off the Atlanta roster is difficult. They lack a clear player who can step up in this game and get to Dak with any consistency.  What Denver did so well was making Dak uncomfortable and make quick decisions and Dak struggled massively. What the stat line doesn’t tell you is Dak put together all of his stats and success in garbage time.

This is the worst game Dak has played, he looked out of sorts and indecisive.  Atlanta needs this version of Dak on Sunday, and the only way they will get him is if one of their pass rushers can step up.

As we saw on Sunday against the Broncos you don’t always have to win just get close enough for Dak to make a quick decision.  Atlanta so far this season hasn’t proven they are even capable of that, often giving quarterbacks endless time in the pocket. If there was ever a time for a surprise contribution from one of their pass rushers this is the week for Atlanta.

If Atlanta cannot get to Dak with a bit of consistency it is going to be a long day for a secondary going against one of the best receiver groups in the league
