Losing to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday may cost the Atlanta Falcons the NFC South crown. Losing Julio Jones on Sunday may cost the Atlanta Falcons their season.
Is playing Jones worth the risk?
The Atlanta Falcons have enough talent on the roster to win while allowing Julio Jones to rest. The Los Angeles Rams aren’t a very good football team, nor do they have much of a home field advantage. Sunday offers the Falcons a significantly weaker opponent in which they can get the job with a relentless rushing attack.
Don’t be intimidated by the #10 ranking of the Rams defense.
