Atlanta Falcons: 5 Players to Watch Vs. Dallas
By John Buhler
The Atlanta Falcons will travel to Arlington, TX to face another undefeated team in the Dallas Cowboys for Week 3. Atlanta is a slight road favorite due to the myriad of injuries on offense for Dallas in this one.
Atlanta has won two one-possession games in the first two weeks of the 2015 NFL Season. The Falcons are one of a few teams in the NFC that have looked strong in the first two games. The team had to overcome two fourth quarter deficits to knock off both Philadelphia at home and New York on the road.

Going into AT&T Stadium is not an easy task for the Atlanta Falcons. The Dallas Cowboys are one of three teams the Atlanta Falcons will play this year that made the playoffs in 2014, the other two being the Carolina Panthers and the Indianapolis Colts.

Even without QB Tony Romo, WR Dez Bryant, and possibly TE Jason Witten, Atlanta should not take the depleted offense of the Dallas Cowboys lightly because they still have solid weapons both in the backfield and in the receiving game.
However most importantly, Dallas has two major strengths that the Atlanta Falcons must account for. The Cowboys have arguably the best offensive line in football. They also have a Top 3 defense in the NFL entering Week 3.
Here are the five players for the Atlanta Falcons I’m keeping my eye on in this ball game.
