The Atlanta Falcons may have lost their second preseason game but they got a lot of clarity as to who will make their final roster when roster cuts are due at the end of the month.

Against the Ravens, the Dirty Birds were able to get their ground game going which allowed a couple of their running backs to show their skillset. It was also a much better performance from the offensive line in both pass and run blocking which let some of these unknown talents perform.

For the defense, they did a good job against the run but struggled to force incompletions. The cornerbacks and safeties struggled overall. The starters didn't play so the struggles fell in the lap of the backups.
