Atlanta Falcons vs. Washington Redskins: Tale of the tape

We are into the second quarter of the NFL season, and the Atlanta Falcons are still undefeated. In Week 5, the Falcons (4-0) host the Washington Redskins (2-2) with a chance to sit alone atop the NFC South with the Panthers on bye week.

The Redskins game plan is clear—they want to run the football. With Matt Jones and Alfred Morris, Washington owns the league’s top-ranked ground game. Under center is Kirk Cousins, and when the pressure is on he’s prone to turning the football over.
