HC Dan Quinn has to feel pretty good about his Atlanta Falcons team, but has to keep in mind that we are only two weeks through the 2015 NFL Season. Atlanta looked impressive in the Meadowlands, which had been a house of horrors for the Falcons in recent years. Can they bring this momentum into Jerry World next weekend?
We’re seeing a more balanced team out of the Atlanta Falcons than we have in several seasons. The pass rush and offensive line is getting better every week. The defense is growing in Dan Quinn’s scheme, the offense is progressing under OC Kyle Shanahan, and the special teams is as strong as ever, even without KR Devin Hester in the first two weeks.
Atlanta is in a better position than most teams entering Week 3. Here are my five biggest takeaways from the Atlanta Falcons’ 24-20 road victory over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in Week 2.
