Stopping the run game is key to an Atlanta Falcons

Both the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints have quarterbacks that are coming off of injuries. Matt Ryan played Sunday and Drew Brees returned last week after missing the majority of the first half of the season with a thumb injury.

Brees didn’t miss a step in his return against the Arizona Cardinals, throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns on 37 completions. It is very hard to stop Brees, let alone slow him down, so don’t be surprised if he finishes the game with 400 yards and a handful of touchdowns. That is expected of him.
