The Atlanta Falcons' running game was a critical part of their success in their earlier win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. Now, as they face them again in Week 14, the ground game could matter less, especially with right tackle Kaleb McGary set to miss Sunday’s game. That absence could force the Falcons to rely more on quarterback Desmond Ridder and their passing attack as the offensive engine that carries them to victory.
Since the Falcons ran for 156 yards the first time against the Bucs without Bijan Robinson contributing, leaning on that run game now with Robinson in the lineup would be the key to victory.
