The first big drop of the day, it looks like the Tennessee Titans just completely destroyed the will of the Atlanta Falcons.

Last week the Falcons identified the weaknesses of the Indianapolis Colts and fought back in the 2nd half nearly completing the comeback. However, this weekend the Titans attacked the Falcons however they wanted through the air and Atlanta could never recover.

The team speed is impressive and the weapons on the outside are dangerous if you don’t have a great plan or great players to stop them, but ultimately the problem is the pass protection and Matt Ryan‘s inability to make the tough throws.

This feels like a team that could go 8-8 or 5-11 and neither would surprise me. However, if there is a drop off like that it would be very interesting to see current Oklahoma Head Coach Lincoln Riley take the reigns and bring in someone like Jalen Hurts to be his ideal backup QB/heir apparent.
