Atlanta’s offense finally got it going against a struggling Washington defense last week, putting up 30 points despite a litany of drops and errors. That they did so without Russell Gage, who continues to recover from injury, was a very good sign that the team is figuring things out on that side of the ball.
They’re going to have to figure things out even faster now, though, because Gage is out and Calvin Ridley didn’t make the trip to London due to a personal matter. That’s hardly the least of their troubles, unfortunately, because it also looks like they’ll be down Marlon Davidson, Erik Harris and Avery Williams after already losing Isaiah Oliver for the year.
