When defensive coordinator Dean Pees took over the defense for the Falcons he told the fans to expect pressure and blitzes from everywhere. While we've seen it to some extent, this week may provide the best chance for Pees to let his blitz loose.
Atlanta Falcons analyst Harry Douglas explains that Thursday Night is the perfect opportunity to blitz and blitz often without it costing them too much.
"They don't have a guy who can take the top off, you don't have the receivers that you played against in Dallas for the Patriots," said the former Falcons wide receiver. "So I would send those blitzes this game and hope you get home."
Despite his performance this season, Mac Jones is still a rookie QB making just his 11th career start and he has shown moments of confusion in his first year under center.
