Three keys for the Atlanta Falcons to beat the Washington Commanders

Can you believe it is already week 12? This season has gone by pretty quickly for the Atlanta Falcons. They also still haven’t had their bye week which will be in two weeks following the game against Pittsburgh.

First things first though, the Falcons need to take down the Washington Commanders in order to keep pace in the division and keep their playoff hopes going.

Washington has been playing great recently as they have won five of their past six games, including being the first team to beat the Philadelphia Eagles this season. Atlanta has their hands full in this game.

They are also on the road which never makes things easy, but it is the Commanders who haven’t exactly had happy and participating fans in recent times.

They are a team that has a lot of talent on the front end of their defense which is not a good thing considering the Falcons have to run the ball consistently in order to win. Then on offense, they have a couple threats in the backfield and at receiver. This certainly will not be an easy game.

Here are three keys for the Falcons to get back to .500 and keep pace in the playoff picture.
