Falcons Defense Once Again Embarrassed
2 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons defense was awful in the team's 19-16 Week 13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They gave up 5.1 yards per rushing attempt to Najee Harris on Sunday. By comparison, the Pittsburgh running back had averaged 3.8 yards per rushing attempt before the matchup against the Falcons. Furthermore, Atlanta didn't register a sack or a turnover in the loss. For the second week in a row, the Falcons failed to sack the opposing quarterback. More importantly, the team has only five sacks over the past five weeks, failing to total a single sack in three of those contests. The Falcons have their bye next week. They then face the New Orleans Saints in Week 15, possibly giving fantasy players a desperate streaming option.
