Is Atlanta for real? This is one of those big, borderline meaningless questions that’s still interesting to think about. The improvement for this team has been somewhere between noticeable (on defense) and drastic (on offense, particularly on the ground), and they’ve been in each of their four games until the end. It seems like they might be pretty good, which is an exciting thought.
Now we’ll get to see what they look like against their toughest opponent yet minus a couple of key playmakers, as Kyle Pitts and Cordarrelle Patterson are out and the Buccaneers bring a rough-and-ready defense to the table.
