After facing a series of flashy playoff teams and most recently two dysfunctional unbalanced teams, this feels like a lackluster matchup on paper. There isn’t much star power in Washington. A ball-control, ultra-conservative offense led by two veterans with an average supporting cast doesn’t strike fear into defenses. As impressive as their pass rush is, they struggle to prevent big plays because of their mediocre secondary. Matt Ryan should have success throwing downfield, but will he receive enough protection behind an underachieving offensive line? Can the front seven hold up in the trenches against a physical offensive line opening holes for the immortal Adrian Peterson?
