TAMPA, Fla. -- Here are 10 things to know about the Atlanta Falcons (6-1), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' opponent Sunday at the Georgia Dome:
1. The Falcons have a stout rush defense. For Bucs running back Doug Martin to have his fourth consecutive 100-yard game, he'll have to earn it. Atlanta ranks second in the NFL in rush defense, allowing just 78.6 yards per game. Only the Dallas Cowboys have gained more than 100 yards on the ground against the Falcons this season, when they had 127 in Week 3.
