3 Reasons the Atlanta Falcons will upset the Bengals in week 7
By Nick Halden
3. Arthur Smith
There shouldn’t be any questions left as to whether or not Arthur Smith is the right man for the job after the season he put together in year one and the start to this year. The Falcons have far less proven talent than last season and a more difficult schedule and every week so far Smith has shown up with a gameplan or made halftime adjustments that set Atlanta up to win any of the six games.
While the team has split their season so far at 3-3 Smith has more than done his job and cleaned up his end of game decision-making. Coming off of outcoaching a familiar face against San Francisco Smith will go up against a coach that arguably has been carried by Joe Burrow during his time with the Bengals.
If there is one clear advantage the Falcons should be taking into week seven it is their head coach who has given reason to believe Atlanta is going to have a chance to win every game this season.
