The Atlanta Falcons got their work week started after a league-wide off day. Head coach Arthur Smith is now 0-2 early on in the season, and is trying to figure out a way to put a one in the other column.
One way that can help the Falcons get a win is to put pressure on the opposing quarterback. Defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. was able to get a sack, and finally looks like he is ready to be the guy that previous regime brought him in to be.
Tori McElhaney, of AtlantaFalcons.com, joined The Jon Chuckery Show to talk about what's at stake for Fowler financially.
"He got a pay cut, and in order to get some of that money back, he has to go out and get sacks," McElhaney said.

On the field, Fowler looks healthy. If last week was a peek into what we are in store for, Fowler may be well on his way to earning some of that money back that was taken from him.
