Winning the season opener will require Atlanta to lean heavily on their offensive weapons and ground attack to offset the uncertainty surrounding the starting quarterback.
Special teams impact
Special teams performance, specifically from the punter, kicker, and returner, serves as a vital X-factor for Atlanta in a tight road game against a formidable defensive unit.
Defense leaders
Emerging defenders like Kendall Daniels provide much-needed versatility and aggression to the Falcons' secondary and linebacking groups.
