The Atlanta Falcons will be without A.J. Terrell and Casey Hayward Jr. on Sunday which should be a huge concern for Atlanta fans. Looking at what P.J. Walker had done in his previous starts with Carolina than what he was able to accomplish last week against Atlanta speaks to these injuries and how much the Atlanta defense has been struggling the last two weeks.

Joe Burrow and the Bengals are a great offense and could be shrugged off as simply a great team beating an average one. However, that being followed up by an offensive explosion from P.J. Walker and what had been an inept Carolina offense speaks to an Atlanta defense that cannot be counted on.

For the Falcons to hang in this game and have a chance to beat Justin Herbert and the Chargers three things are clearly going to have to happen in Atlanta’s favor.
