Falcons offense vs. Buccaneers defense: Getting off to a fast start

The Falcons have won back to back games after a gritty performance against the Cleveland Browns. What has to be appreciated about that game is that the offensive line put on a clinic up front in the second half, clearly dominating the line of scrimmage while players like Caleb Huntley, Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson reaped the benefits and ran decisively. The trio massed multiple explosive runs and finished them with authority.

While that’s something to feel confident about, there are a few factors that must be taken into consideration. The Browns were without three starters up front, and most importantly, Marcus Mariota only completed seven passes the entire game.
