Three key players for the Atlanta Falcons to take down the Cincinnati Bengals

The Atlanta Falcons will be traveling to take on the defending AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. It will be a very telling game for Atlanta as it will help to identify where this team is currently at and if they are ready to contend for the playoffs.

Going on the road will be a tough task as Paycor Stadium will be rocking and rolling after the Bengals fans just saw their team have more success than they have had in quite some time.

This is the measuring stick for Arthur Smith’s team, if they can take down Joe Burrow and the Bengals then the country will officially be put on notice.

Not to mention, this will be Arthur Smith’s chance to finally get above .500 for the first time as an NFL head coach. It hasn’t been the smoothest ride for his team during his tenure, but things seem to be going in the right direction, especially if they leave Cincy with a win.

So, if the Atlanta Falcons are going to beat the Cincinnati Bengals then they will need these players to step up.
