Additionally, Atlanta lost its first nine games in Washington before winning the past three visits. Atlanta had a bye in Week 8 after beating the Giants on Monday night in Week 7, its second straight win after starting the season 1-4. The 212 points allowed by the Falcons through seven games are their most since allowing 220 in 2003. The Redskins beat the Giants last week, 20-13, and have now won three straight games by seven points or fewer. The last time they had such a winning streak was in 2012, and they've never had such a streak longer than four games. Losing Devonta Freeman has hurt the Falcons' running game -- they're averaging just 83.3 yards per game on the ground, 30th in the NFL. Washington is allowing 80.1 rushing yards per game, second fewest in the league (Saints, 74.1). Matt Ryan's 7.50 touchdown-to-interception ratio is third best in the NFL among qualifying quarterbacks, behind Drew Brees (14.00) and Aaron Rodgers (13.00). Ryan's career best is 5.43, set in his MVP season of 2016. Alex Smith has thrown just two interceptions all season and none since Week 5. Since the 2011 season, his 1.4 interception percentage is second lowest among qualifying quarterbacks (Aaron Rodgers, 1.3). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted November 4, 2018 I expect this to be a pretty good game, but I think the Falcons pull away in the 4th and Matty Ice... ices it. 23 28 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
