Three players who will need to step up for the Atlanta Falcons to win in week 11

Week 11 for the Atlanta Falcons feels like a crucial game for their playoff hopes. It is a time when they will either keep pace in the division or they will take a significant step back.

Even though the Buccaneers are on a bye this week, the Falcons need to win to stay right on their tail. The Bucs seem to be playing better so you cannot count on them losing consistently like they have earlier in the season.

This means the Falcons will have to take down the Chicago Bears at home on Sunday. Chicago’s offense has been gashing teams with their running game that is led by Justin Fields. It is going to be a difficult task for the defense after they just got steamrolled by a lesser Carolina Panthers running game.

Meanwhile, on offense, the Falcons should have an easier time moving the ball. The Bears’ defense has not been good and they recently traded away both Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith.

The Atlanta Falcons are going to need these three players to step up in order to record a win in week 11.
