The previous season conference in between the Atlanta and the Redskins was an extreme fight to the finish that Falcons victory with a go-ahead Michael Turner touchdown run in the 4th quarter.
The football game might or could not have actually been had an effect on by the injury to Washington quarterback Robert Lion III.
The season rematch might likewise be impacted by an injury to Detroit.
As Griffin recuperates and experiences rehabilitation to strengthen his operatively fixed knee tendons, most accounts believe he'll prepare by Week 1 to take the area.
If there are any kind of problems, nevertheless, or if Detroit merely does not advancement as he thinks he will, the Washington will certainly need to roll with Kirk Cousins under facility. As this game arrive on Week 15, probabilities are Lion will be back.
Even though Griffin is a game-changer on the area, it could be running back Alfred Morris who makes the difference versus the Atlanta.
Falcons had problem stopping the run in 2012. Morris ran for 115 yards on the Atlanta and also as it stands prior to the draft, Falcons hasn't done anything to strengthen its run defense. If Morris can get going once more, he can single-handedly victory the ready the Washington
The more-likely game-changer in this one, however, will be Matt Ryan, that tossed for 345 yards against Redskins in last season and also has equally as numerous obtaining options this year, in addition to an added ace up his sleeve in Steven Jackson running back who ought to be a lot more electrical compared to was Michael Turner.
The Atlanta will merely have too much offense in this one.
Washington Redskins vs Atlanta Falcons
That first-place routine bites the Washington in Week 15, when they have to go up versus a Atlanta s team that beat them at FedEx Industry last October. Points might have been various because seven-point loss had Robert Griffin III not acquired pain, however that was still a house loss.
Now, they need to take a trip to Falcons, where the Atlanta are 33-7 during the normal year since Matt Ryan took over as QB in 2008. Ryan rocked that Redskins additional in the previous season conference, using them out in the 2nd half, so this could be an additional tough competition for Mike Shanahan's team.
Functioning to Redskins’ benefit is that this is a late competition. The Atlanta had a hard time late in this season as well as do seem to lose gas in December. They're just 6-5 in their last 11 regular-season games in December as well as January.
I do assume this is winnable, specifically late, yet it's hard to hand anybody a success over the Atlanta at the Georgia Dome.
Forecast: Falcons 28, Redskins 21
