Peter King of The MMQB thinks the Patriots defensive front could keep the Falcons running back duo of Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman under 100 combined rushing yards.
"If that happens, then Matt Ryan is going to have to win this game with a controlled passing game," King says. "He can do that—don't get me wrong, he can do that. He's got the tight ends so he can do that.
"I really think the key to this game is 2nd-and-9, 3rd-and-8—long yardage downs. The other key is, Tom Brady has to possess the ball to limit the possessions for the Falcons.
