3 Most important Atlanta Falcons matchups in week two vs. Rams

1. Jalen Ramsey vs. Drake London

One could argue that the Rams would put Jalen on Kyle Pitts and allow their secondary to give London extra attention. However, I believe after being burnt by Stefon Diggs so badly the Rams will want to set Ramsey up to lock down a rookie receiver and gain back confidence heading into week three. Kyle Pitts might be Atlanta’s best weapon in the passing game but it was Drake London that was moving the chains for Atlanta in week one.

Ramsey has struggled over his last five games and badly needs a win to get back to being the elite corner he has been in years past. Putting him on the rookie receiver who appears to be Mariota’s preferred target will do just that.

Asking London to beat Ramsey a week after taking on a good Saints secondary is a lot to put on the rookie. However, with Ramsey’s recent struggles and London’s week one performance this matchup won’t be as one-sided as many fans expect it to be. London has the talent and enough speed to do what Stefon Diggs did last week to Ramsey burning him consistently on short routes forcing Ramsey to lessen the cushion allowing him to beat the corner over the top.  If this matchup does happen it is one certainly to keep a close eye on.
