Three 49ers the Atlanta Falcons should be worried about on Sunday

The Atlanta Falcons will be playing some tough 49ers players in week six

The Atlanta Falcons are preparing to take on their old division rival San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. These two teams have a long history with each other and it will definitely be a battle at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with these two scrappy teams.

The 49ers have their fair share of stars on both sides of the ball and even some rising stars.

The Falcons, obviously, must stop or limit these players in order to win the game but that will be a tall task. The fortunate part of all of this is that the Atlanta offense has the ability to grind a game out and be the aggressor. And possibly the 49ers will be without their best defensive player.

In years prior, that was never the case, this team has had a transformation from year one to year two under Arthur Smith. The Falcons have been relevant at the end of each one of their games, so you like their chances to keep it close down the stretch.

It will require the defense to key in on a certain playmaker and the offense to avoid two certain stars, one of which is a rising star in the league.
