Atlanta Falcons offense may catch another huge break vs. 49ers

Two weeks ago the Atlanta Falcons were going to have to prepare to block one of the best pass rushers in the entire NFL in Myles Garrett but due to a scary car crash — which thankfully he was able to walk away from — he did not end up playing against Atlanta.

Now, this week, they have been preparing to take on another one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers but their offensive line might end up catching yet another break.

49ers’ star DE Nick Bosa may not play against the Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons are coming off of a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where they gave up a flurry of sacks and things were not looking any easier this upcoming Sunday because they will be playing one of the NFL’s best defenses.

The 49ers have not allowed more than 19 points in a game this season and have only allowed 15 or fewer points over the last four weeks.

Much of the reason for their success has been because of their best defensive player Nick Bosa. Last Sunday, against the Panthers, Nick Bosa ended up leaving the game with a groin injury and has been fighting the injury ever since.

He has not been practicing this week which means things are looking good for the Atlanta Falcons offense.

While it is always better to beat a team at its best, I don’t think most Falcons fans will mind if the NFL’s sack leader sits out for a game. It is safe to say that we want things to be as easy as possible for Marcus Mariota so that maybe we can finally see the passing offense put it all together.

If the 49ers end up not having Bosa on Sunday, then it will also help the running game since Bosa is a complete player. Without him, the odds of the Falcons winning receive a pretty big boost.
