Atlanta Falcons Will Finally End Their Miserable Start Against Tampa
By Kit Anderson
The 1-4 Atlanta Falcons are set to take on division rival Tampa Bay this Sunday. Could the Falcons finally turn their season around, and earn a win against Jameis Winston and the Bucs?
The Atlanta Falcons have arguably been the most disappointing team in the NFL so far this season. Their ugly 1-4 start was capped by a blowout loss on the road last week to the Steelers. Every other loss this season had been by a single score, games where the Falcons should have come away with wins.
There is no changing the past, however, and the Falcons must find a way to attempt to salvage what is left of the season. This week they will be taking on Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Taking on a terrible defense and a questionable offense considering Jameis Winston will be making his first start. Fitzmagic has all but expired in Tampa and paired with a terrible defense this will be the week Atlanta turns their season around.
Tampa Bay has ranked the second worst in yardage given up per game, giving up 445.8 yards per game.
A promising sign for Matt Ryan and an offense with an embarrassing amount of weapons. Even with Devonta Freeman set to miss another week with an injury Atlanta still has the better quarterback and more weapons standing on their sideline.
It is time to string wins together or the season will be officially lost in Atlanta. A win against Tampa is the first step for a team who has the talent and ability to turn their season around.
dark. Next. Hawks Changing Culture
The key for Atlanta is going to be a Matt Ryan bounceback game, with the quarterback lighting up a terrible secondary. Julio Jones is due for a big game as well and will explode as Atlanta gets back on track against Tampa winning 31-28.
