49ers-Falcons preview: What Alex Mack, WRs, Kyle Shanahan mean to Atlanta offense

The San Francisco 49ers face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and while Julio Jones has been ruled out, the Falcons are still in pretty good shape. They faced the Los Angeles Rams last week, and even with Jones and Mohamed Sanu sidelined, they put up 42 points. Part of that was due to defensive scoring, but considering the state of the 49ers run defense, Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman could do plenty on their own.

The Falcons offense has always been fairly prolific, but consistency has long been an issue. This year, we’ve seen some improvement in that regard as the Falcons have had a notable record turnaround from last season.
