I don’t think what we saw out of the Rams in Week 1 is who they are and just attribute it to a Super Bowl hangover effect. But I think what I saw out of the Falcons last week is closer to who they are. They gave up 17 points to the Saints in the fourth quarter to lose 27-26, but they covered +6. They rushed for over 200 and passed over 200 controlling the clock for almost 34 minutes. QB Marcus Mariota was vintage. They might win this game outright, but I took all the points.
I know the 4th quarter collapse is fresh in everyone's mind, but for the majority of the game the Falcons really owned the Saints in the trenches. What gives them a puncher's chance in this game against the Rams is the fact that the Rams weakness, as of right now, is up front along the offensive line. Also, where the Rams struggled last week - defending the mobile QB - will be a similar issue this week vs Marcus Mariota. This line is very disrespectful to how talented this Falcons team actually is.
