Falcons cornerback Robert Alford, who didn’t see much action in the opener, will need to win his battles against New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who is the Madden cover guy this year.
Alford must most embody coach Dan Quinn’s fast and physical style of play.
Beckham was targeted eight times and caught five passes for 44 yards in the Giants’ 27-26 loss to Dallas last Sunday.
