After a disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks at home in Week 2, the Detroit Lions won’t get a chance to relax with the Atlanta Falcons, perfect through the first two games, coming to town.
Like Detroit, the Falcons are a younger team, with several of their core players being from recent draft classes—players like wide receiver Drake London, quarterback Desmond Ridder, tight end Kyle Pitts, and we can’t leave out the No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft—running back Bijan Robinson.
Defensively, the Falcons boast a terrific safety duo in Jessie Bates III and Richie Grant.
