FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – The Atlanta Falcons gave the NFL a first glimpse on Sunday in Tampa of what their running game, one of the league's best so far in 2022, will look like over the next month without leader Cordarrelle Patterson, who went on the injured list last week.
The Falcons, third in the league in rushing, ran for 98 of their 151 yards in the second half, where it seemed like Atlanta was able to get more push from the offensive line. The Falcons also ran more in the second half (20 rushes) than in the first (11 rushes) despite at one point trailing by 21 points.
