1. Tevin Coleman Must Get the Run Game Going Again in Atlanta

Tevin Coleman is going to be key for the Atlanta Falcons this week against one of the better pass rushes they will see this season. Coleman has been horribly inconsistent and must be better this week for Atlanta to win.

Watching Coleman this season should leave Falcon’s fans with few questions about who their starting running back should be.

There is no question about how explosive Coleman can be. But he is unable to carry the Atlanta rushing game as the featured back rushing for only 442 yards so far this season.

While you could blame the incessant outside run calls Atlanta insists on making as part of the problem, Coleman has failed to live up to expectations.

The Dallas pass rush isn’t going to be easy for a banged up Atlanta front, Coleman will have to pose a threat to keep Dallas honest.

If he cannot, the Falcons won’t win this game and Ryan is going to have a long day under constant pressure.
