In the debacle of the loss to the Colts, it’s easy to overlook the fact that the Falcons defense still did a fairly good job of stopping the run. Minus a couple of big runs, Atlanta did a good job of limiting the damage on the ground. They’ll need to repeat that performance against a Titans offense that features Derrick Henry. Let’s see how this match up looks on paper.

The middle of the Falcons defense has turned out to be quite good so far.
