This week, Jimmy Lake claimed that Kaden Elliss has developed into one of the best off-ball linebackers in the league.
Well, with plays like this interception against Jayden Daniels in a crucial juncture at the beginning of this primetime game against Washington, he may not be too far off.
More than just Elliss, this play highlights this “new Atlanta Falcons defense,” which has been one of the leading reasons Atlanta is still in the NFC South race despite the offensive struggles.
Since week 13, the Falcons are first, that’s right, first in EPA/play allowed on defense.
