The Atlanta Falcons will need three players to improve in week two

While the Atlanta Falcons suffered a loss in week one, there are just a limited number of players who will need to raise their level of play going into week two against the Los Angeles Rams.

Nonetheless, there are a few players who were not good in week one that will need to play much better if this team wants to pull off an upset against the defending Super Bowl champs.

On the bright side, the Rams might have more players who need to improve because they got blasted by the Buffalo Bills who look like the best team in the league. Their offensive line was terrible and suffered a couple of injuries, Matt Stafford played poorly, and their defense was gashed by Josh Allen but did force four turnovers.

That is the other thing, the Rams forced two fumbles and two interceptions but somehow only managed ten points. Either the Bills’ defense is just that good or the Rams have major issues.

Even though the Rams struggled in week one, they still outmatch the Falcons which means these three players will need to step up for Atlanta to pull off an upset.
