The Atlanta Falcons have an uphill battle for the remainder of the season after a terrible start. Atlanta must have players improve coming out of the bye stepping up, and improving their production.

After a much needed bye week the Atlanta Falcons will be getting ready to take on the Washington Redskins. Yet another must-win game, for a team who is trying to claw their way back into the playoff discussion.

The Redskins have played well this season, and are coming off of a win against the New York Giants.

For the Falcons, the bye couldn’t have come at a better time. With injuries piling up the team has had time to heal and reset for the remainder of the season.

Beating the Redskins is a must for Atlanta if they want to remain relevant. For that to happen players are going to have to step up both this week and in the weeks to come. Here are five Atlanta Falcons who must improve starting now.
