The Atlanta Falcons offense has become stagnant the past few games. There are a few reasons that can explain the drop off in scoring production from the first few weeks of the season to this point.
Perhaps the biggest reason for a lack of production is that Julio Jones has been nursing a sore hamstring, which has limited his effectiveness. With Jones being limited in his ability to run routes, the Falcons are without a true wide receiver to stretch the field.
The opposing defenses are now able to focus on playing the Falcons wideouts for short intermediate passes.
