Falcons defense can’t let Chargers offense ‘get right’ on Sunday

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing the Atlanta Falcons in their Week 9 matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers is avoiding the “get right” game.

There have been more times than I count over the past several years when teams and players that were in slumps broke out of them the minute they stepped onto the field to face the Falcons.

You can certainly argue that was the case two weeks ago when the Falcons got blasted 35-17 by the Cincinnati Bengals. Up to that point, the defending AFC Champions hadn’t quite looked like the impossible-to-contain explosive offense they were known for being last year.
