In Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins, the injury bug swept over the Atlanta Falcons in their 34-10 loss. No Michael Penix Jr., no Drake London, and no Zach Harrison had the Dirty Birds already fighting an uphill battle, while losing Jessie Bates III to a knee injury made a bad situation even worse.
This weekend, the Falcons will travel to Foxborough for a Super Bowl LI rematch with the New England Patriots. New England has won five games in a row behind the elite play of second-year quarterback Drake Maye, but the Pats will be missing some key pieces of their own due to injury .
