The Atlanta Falcons have arguably their toughest challenge yet in week six taking on a great San Francisco roster. While it may lack the offensive weapons that Tom Brady had at his disposal last week overall it appears to be the more complete roster. The Atlanta Falcons have proven they can hang with better rosters, however, with chances to beat both the Bucs and Rams late in the game so far this season.

If the season has taught us anything thus far it is that this will be a touchdown game late and Atlanta is going to have a chance.  It would be much easier to feel great about the Falcons if they had a healthy Cordarrelle Patterson or Kyle Pitts’ status was a bit more clear, however, they still have the running game and offensive weapons to do enough to keep the game close.

Searching for matchups that favor the Falcons in this game three clearly stand out as advantages the Falcons will have on Sunday.
