Injuries are something teams need to be able to deal with in the NFL. At any moment, injury can strike and the next man up has to be able to fill in. However, we have never seen anything quite like this.
After struggling early this season, Atlanta’s defense just did not look right to start off Sunday’s game. You could tell something wasn’t right because the Falcons defense wasn’t playing like defenses typically play.
Entering the second quarter, the defense went down o a Dallas drive. It is unclear if the Falcons defense aggravated an existing injury or if this was a new injury.
