Episode notes
Falcons Run Game And Defense Took Over
- The Falcons leaned heavily on Bijan Robinson and the run game to dominate a sloppy Vikings offense.
- Atlanta's defense also pressured Minnesota into three turnovers and a 37.5 passer rating.
Vikings Offense Is Struggling Early
- The Vikings offense looked slow and ineffective with extremely short average drive times and low EPA per play.
- JJ McCarthy showed flashes but overall the unit struggled with injuries and timing, leaving Minnesota bleak early.
Hold But Watch Brian Thomas Jr.
- Monitor Brian Thomas Jr.'s quick drops in contested middle-of-field work and avoid overreacting after two poor weeks.
- Hold patience but re-evaluate BTJ if his route success versus zone doesn't improve soon.
