Banged-up Bills will face Falcons' defense set to receive significant boost Monday

The Falcons have allowed the fewest total yards per game this season (244) and have also allowed the fewest passing yards per game (135). In two weeks without Terrell, one of which was a 30-0 shellacking at the hands of the Carolina Panthers, the Falcons allowed just 130.5 yards per game, including a paltry 147 yards to second-year standout quarterback, Washington’s Jayden Daniels, a week ago.

Still, don’t let that fool you. Terrell has made a significant impact while on the field this season, recording a couple of passes defensed along with nine tackles. He came away with a couple of interceptions while playing 98% of the Falcons’ defensive snaps a season ago. Through two starts this season, the six-year veteran has allowed opposing passers to record a slim passer rating of 72.5 when throwing the ball his way.

Terrell will be lined up against a Bills’ pass-catching corps that may be without two of its contributors — tight end Dalton Kincaid and Curtis Samuel. Samuel has been listed as questionable due to injuries to his neck and ribs, while Kincaid is questionable due to an oblique injury. Both players were limited during the team’s Saturday practice.

Kincaid is the Bills’ leading receiver this season, recording 287 yards receiving and three touchdowns on 20 receptions. After being inactive for the first three weeks of the season, Samuel has recorded three receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown over the past two games while also serving as one of the Bills’ kick returners.

Even with its full complement of targets, Buffalo’s passing game has struggled to find the consistency it aspires to achieve, and Terrell’s return could make things more challenging for a group that could be missing two key pieces in Week 6.
