3 Reasons the Atlanta Falcons will beat the Jaguars on Sunday

The Atlanta Falcons are coming off of two of the worst losses in franchise history. A week after the Cowboys dismantled them Atlanta took on the Patriots at home and despite showing some promise defensively were shut out in embarrassing fashion.

Still, there are reasons for encouragement headed into Sunday’s game against the Jaguars. Jacksonville has been one of the few teams clearly worse than Atlanta this season struggling with a rookie quarterback and head coach.

Here are three more reasons Falcons fans should be confident this week Atlanta manages to turn it around.
