3. Let Allgeier reach 1,000-rushing yards

Tyler Allgeier has often been the answer for the Atlanta Falcons when nothing else is working on either side of the ball. Coming into this game Allgeier simply needs a 100-yard rushing performance to go over 1,000-yards on the season and hit an impressive milestone. This lines up perfectly for how both of these teams should approach this game.

Atlanta is simply playing out the season while Tampa Bay is looking to keep everyone healthy before hosting a playoff game next weekend after winning the division.

This game should be run focused with Brady taking few risks and replaced at some point in this game. Atlanta needs to play bully ball letting Allgeier and Avery Williams take the bulk of the plays and give Tyler a chance to hit a milestone he deserves. While this strategy works directly against giving Ridder the chance to prove he is the starting quarterback of the future Allgeier has more than earned the oppurtunity and Ridder will still have his chances.

Draft implications if the Falcons lose in week 18. dark. Next
