TEAMS: Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans
This is a pretty big game for both teams coming up this Sunday. The Falcons are coming off a loss that really hurt, 26-23 at home in O.T. last weekend. The Titans are coming off a huge road win, 30-3 over the Panthers last weekend. The Falcons are 2-2 at home this year and the Titans are 2-2 on the road. Here is a look at the matchups in this game:
When the Falcons have the ball: The Falcons are going to try to remain balanced in this game. Michael Turner is likely going to have a heavy workload against a Titans’ D that is allowing 125.2 yards rushing per game and 4.4 yards per carry. But, the Titans are also giving up 224.2 yards passing per game this year and they don’t have an imposing pass rush. Matt Ryan should have time to throw the ball, so he should have success spreading the ball around to Tony Gonzalez, Roddy White, Harry Douglas and Julio Jones (if he plays).

Falcons Highlight of the Week
Unfortunately, this little feature has slipped my mind the past two weeks. So we’ll bring it back again. This week’s highlight has to be Jason Snelling’s 24-yard catch and run where he broke several tackles and rumbled through practically all of the Saints defense. He would not be denied.
