The Atlanta Falcons’ rushing attack has been critical to their offensive success thus far in 2022, and it will be tested against defensive tackle Vita Vea and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5.
The Falcons sport the fourth-ranked unit in the NFL in terms of rushing yards through four games, and they face a Bucs run defense that currently ranks 12th in yards allowed. But Tampa Bay looks much more vulnerable coming off a Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that saw the latter gain 189 yards on the ground.
The last time the Falcons and Bucs squared off in 2021, the Falcons put up 121 rushing yards, their fourth-highest team total of that season.
