While the storyline early in the season was the loss of Tom Brady to suspension, the team persevered and has flourished in his return to the field. On the ground, LeGarrette Blount has been a beast this season. He has had a 1,000 yard season in 2016 and found the endznoe 18 times. Blount has been a workhorse. His first carry on Sunday will be his 300th of the year. Atlanta will need to contain the former Oregon Football Running Back early and often to allow Matt Ryan a chance to get the Falcons Offense off on the right foot.
