4. Justin Simmons' struggles can't be overlooked

It seemed like the Atlanta Falcons easily had the best safety duo in the league coming into this season. Early on, it looked like that but Justin Simmons has started to look like the guy the Broncos were smart to release.

Simmons looks slow out there and with all the two deep the Falcons are playing, it has been a huge liability. I mean how often have we seen Jessie Bates having to defend the entire field because Simmons can't be trusted?

The Falcons dodged a bullet by signing him to just a one-year deal.
