The Atlanta Falcons have lost their first two games of the season the first game can be tied directly to poor coaching decisions. Whether it was playing a soft zone defense that allowed Jameis Winston to get going or not going for 4th down in a short yardage situation the Falcons coaching staff had a lot to improve in week two.

Week two was defined by adjustments and an impressive comeback attempt that fell just short. Jalen Ramsey made a play and picked off Mariota ending Atlanta’s comeback attempt and allowing the Rams to escape with a win.

Week three is a very winnable game for the Falcons as they take on Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle dropped to 1-1 on the season after losing to San Francisco in week two. Week one was Seattle’s Super Bowl playing against their former quarterback and coming away with a victory.

Atlanta has a chance to steal a win against a similar roster who is expected to be at the bottom of the NFC. With this in mind, let’s look at four Atlanta Falcons who must step up for for the Falcons to steal a win in week three.
