The Falcons face off with the Detroit Lions on a surprisingly competitive road game, with the Falcons vying for its first 3-0 start in quite some time. The good news? Under-the-radar trade for former 3rd overall pick Jeff Okudah will finally pay off (or... we will see how it goes) as he will make his first start for the Falcons.
The Falcons continue dealing with a frustrating injury with its Joker Cordarrelle Patterson. Arthur Smith had kept Patterson on a snap count during camp, limited reps, and he is still missing the first three weeks of the season.
