3. Tom Brady has been turning the ball over this season can Atlanta steal a possession for Ryan and the offense?

Tom Brady has been great this season and will be considered as the potential MVP. However, Brady hasn’t been void of turnover issues of his own throwing 9-interceptions so far this season. For Atlanta to win this game the Atlanta defense is going to have to show continued growth and find a way to steal a possession or two in this game.

Defensively over the last two weeks, Atlanta has shown growth. After getting demolished by the Dallas Cowboys Atlanta came into a prime-time matchup against the Patriots with effort and fire we haven’t seen from the defense this season.

They kept the Patriots under fourteen late into the second half and continually created chances for Ryan and the offense. Against Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars, Atlanta played just as well the next week giving up points to make the game close only after the Falcons had a big lead and they begin to allow underneath routes to burn the clock.

The Atlanta defense is now going to be given a chance to show whether that growth was real or simply an outlier of facing two rookie quarterbacks. This is arguably their toughest test left on the season, for Atlanta to have a chance the defense that played Mac Jones so tough must show up in this divisional game.
