The Falcons have faced three quality backs in the last four weeks. They impressively bottled up Saquon Barkley and Adrian Peterson, but they allowed Nick Chubb to utterly destroy them and lay waste to their lands, and it’s not a coincidence that they also lost that game.
This week, it’s Ezekiel Elliott, who the Falcons avoided the last time these two teams met. Elliott is incredibly dangerous on the ground—he has just seven games out of 34 in his career where he’s managed fewer than 80 yards—and is a useful player through the air as well.
