Scouting Report: Falcons’ Offense Features Interesting Run-Heavy Offense

As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. Like last year, Josh Carney and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on scheme, Josh on the players.

Today, scouting the Atlanta Falcons’ offense.

ALEX’S SCHEME REPORT

FALONS RUN GAME

An interesting and pretty unique run game. Kinda Baltimore-like. Overall, they’re 5th in the NFL averaging 4.9 yards per carry while their 12 rushing scores are top ten in the league. However, they’ve also fumbled 12 times which is among the most this year, tied 4th.
