In the season opener in Minnesota, Matt Ryan was under duress every time he wanted to throw the ball. Ryan was sacked four times and threw two interceptions, the latter were poor decisons while under pressure. 

Gil Tyree, sports reporter form Philadelphia, said the Eagles defensive line couldn't get a push on the Redskins offensive line in Week 1. That will be key for the Atlanta offensive line. Keep Fletcher Cox and the rest of the Eagles line from distrupting Ryan in the pocket. 


A running game that was non-existent against Minnesota will help the Falcons especially if Devonta Freeman can get going after rushing for only 19 yards in the opener. 

Seems simple: protect Ryan and run the ball. Are the Falcons offensive line up to the task?
