The Falcons will play the Jets in a half hour, and we may actually catch a glimpse of a few starters this time around.
Atlanta wisely sat most of its starters—certainly most of the key ones—against the Broncos and Dolphins. With three weeks left to tune up before the season, and the fourth game typically serving as a final, extended audition for roster hopefuls, they’ll get Matt Ryan and others some run tonight. If the Jets do the same, we might get something approximating real NFL action for a series or two, albeit with scheming that is hopefully far less creative and useful than we’ll see in the regular season.
