Falcons Counting On New Additions To Play Key Role Against Steelers

With Week 1 of the NFL season now upon us, the Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing to face off against the Atlanta Falcons to open the new year.

Pittsburgh will have their hands full, as the Falcons made key improvements to their roster over the offseason. Two of those have come rather recently, and they involved EDGE Matthew Judon and S Justin Simmons.

Falcons’ head coach Raheem Morris was asked on Thursday about the impact both could have on the opener.

“We’re already got him beefed up into his rep counts,” Morris said about Judon via the team website.
