Washington football
The 2-2 Washington football team faces the 4-0 “Hot-lanta” Falcons. Currently, the Falcons offense is nearly unstoppable averaging 34.3 points per game, which is the second-best in the league.
As for Washington, which version of Kirk Cousins and Co. shows up will directly influence whether or not this is a high-scoring affair. The inconsistent quarterback has either surprised with a clean performance or carelessly tossed multiple interceptions.
One point in favor of Washington is the fact they lead the NFL in rushing yards. However, the team could be playing from behind against the fourth-rated Falcons passing offense.
The key for Washington will be trying to contain Devonta Freeman, who has scored a ridiculous seven rushing touchdowns in two weeks. Fortunately, Washington’s defense has only allowed one rushing score all season.
Even if the Falcons fail to score on the ground, they’ll still rely on Matt Ryan and the NFL’s No. 1 receiver, Julio Jones. The combination be too powerful for Washington to stop.
