Falcons Defense Shines For Second Straight Week
5 years agoThe Falcons Defense clearly did their homework over their Week 9 bye. In their two games since then, they have completely dominated their division rivals, the Saints and the Panthers. This week against the Panthers, they recorded five sacks and four interceptions, holding the Panthers to just three points in the game. Christian McCaffrey still went off for nearly 200 yards from scrimmage in the game, but he was held out of the end zone, as were all the other Panthers. The Falcons defense was atrocious over the first half of the season but they may have turned a corner and they could be a viable starting option against the turnover-prone Buccaneers in Week 12.
