Atlanta Falcons Preview

The Falcons recently had a rough performance against the Detroit Lions, where they lost 20-6 on the road. This snapped their two-game winning streak to start the season, so they definitely need to get back on track.

They maintain an average of 312.7 total yards per game, with 184.3 yards attributed to their passing game. They find themselves on the defensive end conceding 297.7 yards to their opponents, with 180 due to passing plays. While they have a slight buffer, it is crucial for them to retain possession of the ball to maintain their lead.

Quarterback Desomon Ridder’s performance this year has been lackluster at best. He has accumulated 553 yards, thrown two touchdowns, and suffered one interception. With a quarterback rating ranking 29th in the league at 36, the team will heavily rely on him to deliver an outstanding performance if they aspire to succeed.

Their scoring equilibrium is fragile, averaging 18.3 points per game while allowing 18. This means they cannot afford any costly mistakes or have a bad day trying to score the ball.

Jacksonville Jaguars Preview

The Jaguars are now on a two-game losing streak after being defeated 37-17 by the Houston Texans. They did not score until the third quarter of the game, which obviously will make it difficult to win games that way.

They maintain an average production of 346.3 yards in each game, and an impressive 248 yards of those result from their passing skills. On the other hand, their defense permits an average of 353.3 total yards, with a significant 269.3 yards attributed to their opponents’ passing plays. This presents a formidable challenge in each contest, as their opponents manage to slightly outgain them in yards.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has demonstrated his competence despite his few years in the league. His QBR stands at 41.2, ranking 26th in the league. So far, he has accumulated 736 yards, thrown three touchdowns, and two interceptions, but will need to be better if they want to win.

The team’s offensive performance translates to an average of 19 points per game, while their defense concedes 25 points. This disparity needs to be addressed for the team to achieve more success.
