NFL Los Angeles Rams vs Seattle Seahawks live stream Free Online NFL Week 05 Thursday Night Football 03 December 2019, NFL online live with HD quality on PC, Laptop, iPhone, Ipad and Android over the Internet. It’s Will be kick of at CenturyLink Field, Seattle, Washington, United States, Time 08:20 PM (ET) broadcast on NFL Network, CBS, Fox Sports, NBC, ESPN and and Online.


Seattle won two games in a row to end October but now tries to rebound from a 25-17 loss at home to the Chargers last week. The Seahawks drove the opening possession of the game 75 yards for a touchdown, then gave up the next 19 points. They later pulled to within one score, made a defensive stop and drove to the Chargers 1-yard line. But a Wilson pass in the end zone with no time on the clock bounced off receiver David Moore, ending the rally.

On the day Seattle held a 25-18 advantage in first downs, ran the ball for 154 yards and won time of possession by a 36/24 tilt. But a Wilson pick-six in the fourth quarter proved the difference.

Seattle has actually out-rushed four of its last five opponents, going 3-2 both SU and ATS in the process. At 4-4 overall the Seahawks trail the Rams by 3.5 games in the NFC West, but they’re only basically a game behind Minnesota in the battle for the second NFC wild card spot.

Los Angeles is also looking to rebound this week after taking its first loss of this season last week, 45-35 at New Orleans. The Rams matched the Saints to a 14-14 tie in the second quarter, fell down 35-14 then rallied to forge a 35-35 tie in the fourth. But Los Angeles gave up the final 10 points of the game to fall from undefeated status.

On the day Los Angeles racked up 483 yards of total offense. But the Rams also came up just short on a fake field goal, missed a field goal and threw an interception in their own territory, all of which combined to basically create a minus-27 point differential.

Los Angeles has now out-gained seven of its last eight opponents, and hit the 30-point mark seven out of nine games this season. At 8-1 overall Los Angeles leads New Orleans by a half-game in the battle for the best record in the NFC.

Even though the Seattle Seahawks have experienced a longer run of recent success than the Rams, it’s Los Angeles that owns the edge in the recent rivalry, winning five of the last eight meetings straight up and going 5-3 against the spread.

NFL point spread: The Rams opened as 7.5-point favorites; the total was 48.5 early in the week, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark. (Line updates and matchup report)

The Rams continue to stake their claim as the best team in football after beating Minnesota last week 38-31.

Los Angeles spotted the Vikings the first seven points of the game and trailed 17-14 well into the second quarter. But the Rams scored twice just before the half and led by two scores most of the rest of the way.

However, the Rams gave up a field goal with three minutes to go and ended up pushing the spread as a seven-point favorite.

On the night, Los Angeles piled up 556 yards of total offense, as Jared Goff hit on 26 of 33 throws for 465 yards and five touchdowns, without an interception. So the Rams lead the league in total offense, averaging 125 yards per game on the ground and 343 through the air. They’ve also scored at least 33 points every game this season.

Thursday’s victory was the third game in 12 days for Los Angeles, but they’ve now had a few extra days off to get ready for this one.

The Seahawks own a two-game winning streak after beating the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale last week, 20-17.

Seattle drew first blood on a 20-yard touchdown run by Mike Davis, trailed at the half 10-7 but scored the first 10 points out of the locker to retake the lead. In the end the Seahawks won it with a defensive hold and a Sebastian Janikowski 52-yard field goal at the buzzer.



On the day, Seattle outgained Arizona 331-263, outrushed the Cardinals 171-92 and held a 32/28 edge in time of possession.

Two weeks ago, the Seahawks defeated Dallas 24-13, and their two losses this season came by three points at Denver and seven at Chicago. So Seattle has been in every game.

The Rams are rolling, and playing on the road means the spread is a bit more manageable. Meanwhile, the Seahawks just lost veteran defensive back Earl Thomas to a bad leg injury.

The total has gone under in four of the Rams’ last five games vs the Seahawks. The total has gone under in five of the Seahawks’ last seven games vs divisional opponents. The Rams are 7-2 SU and ATS in their last nine games in the late afternoon.

Free NFL Philadelphia Eagles vs Green Bay Packers Live Stream TNF Live Streaming Week 04 Game

NFL Philadelphia Eagles vs Green Bay Packers live stream Free Online NFL Week 04 Thursday Night Football 26 September 2019, NFL online live with HD quality on PC, Laptop, iPhone, Ipad and Android over the Internet. It’s Will be kick of at Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin, United States, Time 08:20 PM (ET) broadcast on NFL Network, CBS, Fox Sports, NBC, ESPN and and Online.

In tonight’s game, the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Green Bay to take on the 3-0 Packers in a game some are calling a must-win for the Eagles. Unlike the past few Thursday Night games, this one should be entertaining and very fantasy friendly. There are several players I would feel comfortable playing in tonight’s game but first let’s take a look at my predictions from last week.

While the game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans wasn’t the most entertaining, fantasy owners got solid production from several players. I was on point with starting DJ Chark, Leonard Fournette (thanks to one positive run), the Jaguars D/ST and with benching Dion Lewis and Corey Davis. Gardner Minshew had a solid game, finishing as the QB16 with 18 fantasy points while Marcus Mariota finished as the QB21 with 15.6 fantasy points. However, all that is in the past so let’s take a look at tonight’s matchup.

In the battle of two highly drafted quarterbacks, Carson Wentz has gotten off to a strong start, ranking as the QB7 so far this season, while Aaron Rodgers has faced three strong defenses and is currently the QB21. However, both quarterbacks are top 12 options for me this week and I expect Rodgers to have a big game against a banged-up Eagles secondary. The Packers defense has been one of the best this season but they haven’t faced a quarterback with Wentz’s talent yet. While Wentz won’t have DeSean Jackson, who is out with a groin injury, he is expected to have Alshon Jeffery tonight.

Last week I said the most obvious start was Derrick Henry because of his workload and while he didn’t have the greatest game, averaging just 2.6 yards per carry, he did score 11.6 fantasy points, thanks to scoring the Titans only touchdown of the game. This week there are several players I like but the clear must start is Davante Adams. He has gotten off to a slow start this season, the WR47 so far, but should break out against the banged-up Eagles secondary. If you can buy low on Adams before the game starts, do it!

As I mentioned above, I have both quarterbacks in my top 12 rankings this week. Given the Eagles banged-up secondary, I prefer Rodgers to Wentz and believe Rodgers has a good chance to finish as the top-scoring quarterback this week. The Eagles only gave up 12.1 fantasy points to Matthew Stafford last week but gave up 700 yards, six touchdowns, and 46.3 fantasy points to Case Keenum and Matt Ryan in the first two games. Meanwhile, Wentz is averaging 21.4 fantasy points per game but the Packers are holding opposing quarterbacks to score just 9.7 fantasy points per game. However, they have faced Mitchell Trubisky, Kirk Cousins, and Joe Flacco so far, making that average questionable at best. In the end, fantasy owners should feel good player either quarterback.

Many, including myself, liked Sanders entering the season but warned that fantasy owners would need to be patient. Over the first three games of the season, Sanders is leading the team in snaps at running back but hasn’t received a lot of touches until last week. Over the first two weeks, Sanders averaged 12.5 touches per game but got 15 last week. The biggest difference is Sanders was able to produce 126 scrimmage yards last week compared to 64 total yards during the first two weeks of the season. Sanders is starting to find his groove and he could explode this week. The Packers have given up the third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, giving up 10.9 more fantasy points than the league average. If Sanders gets enough touches, he has a chance to finish as an RB1 this week.

Like I said before, Adams is my favorite buy-low guy right now but Valdes-Scantling is another option. The only problem is, Valdes-Scantling has been solid so far this season and is coming off a 21.9 fantasy point game last week. With a banged-up Eagles secondary, I expect MVS to have another big game tonight. He currently is tied with Adams for the team-high in targets with 21 this season. Unlike Adams, Valdes-Scantling isn’t a must start but certainly a high upside flex play. While I don’t like Geronimo Allison for season long leagues, he could be an interesting cheap option for DFS players despite limited fantasy points this season because of the matchup.



While Howard did have his best game as an Eagle Sunday verse the Lions, had he not gotten the goal line touchdown, he would have finished with just 3.7 fantasy points. He hasn’t topped 45 rushing yards in a game this season and with Sanders’ role increasing and Darren Sproles handling third-down work, Howard probably shouldn’t be on standard size redraft rosters. While the matchup is very juicy, unless Howard scores a touchdown, he doesn’t offer top 36 upside. Some running backs owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues I rather play over Howard include Ronald Jones, Rex Burkhead, and Justin Jackson.

I would be fine with playing Jones but with tempered expectations. Jones is off the injury report after dealing with a shoulder injury in the game verse the Broncos. While Jones’ two touchdowns saved his fantasy owners (15.3 fantasy points), he had just 11 touches for 23 yards (2.1 yards per touch) and was out snapped by Jamaal Williams 35-22. Furthermore, despite Jones averaging six more fantasy points per game than Williams, he only has seven more snaps than Williams for the season. The Eagles are the fifth toughest team against opposing running backs and have given up just one rushing touchdown this season. His volume should result in a solid game but I wouldn’t be surprised if Jones has a single digit fantasy game tonight.

NFL New York Giants vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Live Stream Online NFL Week 03

NFL New York Giants vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers live stream Free Online NFL Week 03 Sunday Football 22 September 2019, NFL online live with HD quality on PC, Laptop, iPhone, Ipad and Android over the Internet. It’s Will be kick of at Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida, United States, Time 04:05 PM (ET) broadcast on NFL Network, CBS, Fox Sports, NBC, ESPN and and Online.


The New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be facing off on Sunday in what could be one of the more interesting NFC games in Week 3.

The Giants are still searching for their first win of 2019 after losing by 14 or more points to both the Cowboys (35-17) and Bills (28-14). This game also will serve as the first NFL start for rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.

The Buccaneers, on the other hand, started the season with a 31-17 home loss to the 49ers but they bounce back in a big way with a 20-14 victory on the road against NFC South foe Carolina last week. Jameis Winston was far from spectacular in the victory over the Panthers, but the important thing he was he didn’t turn the ball over. That’s something he can hopefully build on moving forward.

On Tuesday, the Giants announced that Jones, the sixth overall pick in this year’s draft, would be replacing long-time starter and two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning in the lineup. That news surprised many, but it shouldn’t when you consider the offense’s struggles to start the season.

In two games, Manning only has two touchdowns to three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble lost). As a result of his struggles to create any consistency, the offense is only averaging 15.5 points, which is not going to be enough to get the job done.

To remedy that problem, Jones is being asked to replace Manning sooner than expected. The good news is that the Duke product looked good throughout the preseason, completing 85.3 percent of his passes for 416 yards and two scores — all while not tossing an interception.

The Buccaneers have a middle-of-the-road pass defense right now, as they sit at No. 15 in yards allowed per game through the air (235.5). Hopefully, that helps Jones’ transition as he takes over the Giants offense.

The Buccaneers have been searching for an impact pass rusher, and needless to say, they’ve found one in free-agent signee Shaquil Barrett. The former undrafted free agent out of Colorado State spent his first five seasons in Denver, but signed a one-year deal with the Bucs during the offseason.

The 6-foot-2, 250-pound edge rusher has rewarded them handsomely for that decision. In two games, Barrett has already racked up eight tackles and four sacks, three of which came last week against the Panthers. It should come as no surprise that Barrett was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for the performance.

New York has a good — not great — offensive line, which means that Barrett could continue to build on those sack numbers in Week 3. And what better way to rattle a rookie quarterback than to get consistent pressure on him?

Barkley is only in his second season in the NFL, but he’s already emerged as one of the league’s top running backs. As a rookie in 2018, the Penn State product ran for 1,307 yards while also bringing in a whopping 91 catches for 721 yards. He also scored 15 total touchdowns that season on his way to being named a first-team All-Pro and winning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.

The 2019 season has been no different for Barkley, as he’s totaled 274 yards and a score through two games. His 7.8 yards per carry is a significant increase from the 5.0 he averaged in 2018.



If there is one issue for Barkley and the Giants rushing offense this week, it’s how good the Buccaneers’ front seven has been against the run. They’re tied for sixth in the league in yards allowed per game on the ground (68.5) and most recently held Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey to only 53 total yards on 18 touches — less than three yards per touch.

It’s hard to gauge how much better — or worse — this Giants offense can be with rookie quarterback Daniel Jones leading the way. If he’s clicking like he was in the preseason, it is possible for New York to walk away with a road victory on Sunday.

With that said, the Buccaneers seem to have found the key to victory this past Sunday. Establish the run game early and often while allowing Jameis Winston to play off of it. That limits his turnovers and allows a better-than-expected defense to limit the opposing team’s offensive success.

If head coach Bruce Arians sticks to that game plan, expect the Buccaneers to get to 2-1 on the season while the Giants fall to 0-3 for the second time in three years.

NFL Miami Dolphins vs Dallas Cowboys Live Streaming NFL Week 03

NFL Miami Dolphins vs Dallas Cowboys live stream Free Online NFL Week 03 Sunday Football 22 September 2019, NFL online live with HD quality on PC, Laptop, iPhone, Ipad and Android over the Internet. It’s Will be kick of at AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas, United States, Time 01:00 PM (ET) broadcast on NFL Network, CBS, Fox Sports, NBC, ESPN and and Online.



The Miami Dolphins visit the Dallas Cowboys today in a Week 3 contest. The former Super Bowl VI competitors, coming from the two conferences of the NFL, only face off every four years, meaning the Dolphins have not played the Cowboys since 2015, and have not been in Dallas since 2011.

The last time the teams met, a Week 11 game in 2015, featured Dan Campbell as Miami’s head coach, with Ryan Tannehill throwing touchdown passes to Kenny Stills and Jordan Cameron while the Cowboys, who won the game 24-14, scored on a Rolando McCalin intereption return, passes from Tony Romo to Terrance Williams and Dez Bryant, and a Dan Bailey field goal.

The last time the Dolphins were in Dallas, Tony Sparano was coaching the team , Shayne Graham was kicking, and Brandon Marshall caught a touchdown pass from Matt Moore. Yeah, it has been a while.

To get a better idea of the Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott edition of the Cowboys, I turned to Dave Halprin, the Editor-in-Chief of SB Nation’s Cowboys team site, Blogging the Boys. You can check out my answers to Halprin’s Dolphins-related questions over on their site as well.

The Cowboys will no longer have Elliott on a snap count, but he was pretty active already last week against Washington, so this is not as big of a deal as it sounds. He had 23 carries last week for 111 yards which is a pretty healthy workload. The only noticeable time he was out was a series in the third quarter when the Cowboys rested him and let rookie Tony Pollard see some action. In reality, he was pretty active last week so there is not much more room to use him. 23 carries is pretty standard. As for how he has looked, he really doesn’t look any different than previous seasons. He’s averaging over 4.5 yards per carry and all of his physical attributes seem to be there. He came back from the holdout in shape and at a good weight, so the transition back to football practices and games wasn’t too dramatic.

The first one is what you mentioned, him growing into the position. That includes the very hard work he has put in. Prescott has a great work ethic and is constantly looking for ways to improve. He’s very serious about this part of his game so you have to give him credit for growing to the level he is playing at, we don’t want to shortchange the work he has done. The second factor is new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. He’s scrapped the Cowboys stale, old-fashioned offensive scheme and brought a new one in line with what modern offenses are doing. Pre-snap motion, multiple formations, RPOs, and other things have allowed Prescott to shine. Third, the offensive line. They are back to their dominating selves and Prescott has had plenty of time to throw. And last, new quarterbacks coach Jon Kitna has helped Prescott with his footwork, mechanics and reading the field. All of this has come together to elevate Prescott’s game.


On the offensive side of the ball, it’s hard to pinpoint one thing because of how well the Cowboys have been playing on that side of the ball. Probably the best thing to do is to not allow the Cowboys to get chunk plays and force them to march it slowly down the field. You want to force as many plays as you can on drives in hopes of a mistake, a turnover, a penalty or a blown pass protection. The offense is hitting on all cylinders right now so don’t make it easy for them and keep everything in front of you. Against the defense, I would establish the run. The Cowboys defense has been up and down in containing the run recently, so I would try to take advantage of that. Then work the safeties with tight ends and wide receivers in the middle and deep part of the field. Starting safety Xavier Woods will be out, so I would test the safeties often.



The Cowboys are 2-0, the Dolphins are 0-2, and these two will meet on Sunday in the mismatch of the week. Will the Cowboys be able to take care of business though they will be without several key players? Will the Dolphins find a spark with the newfound change to Josh Rosen at quarterback?

Without Tyrone Crawford, Antwaun Woods, and Xavier Woods on defense, the Cowboys will need their backups to take advantage of this opportunity. The Dolphins are just not very good, ranking dead last in just about every offensive category. Miami has only scored 10 points in two weeks, are -6 in turnovers, average 160 yards passing, and 31 yards rushing. Even with some notable absences, the Cowboys cannot allow this Dolphins team to find success and make a game of this.

The Cowboys need to put pressure on Josh Rosen, who can be a little reckless with the football. Kenyan Drake is a solid running back but he’s not good enough to create much on his own. The current state of the Dolphins’ offensive line is similar to the current state of the Titanic wreckage. Even an altered Cowboys defensive lineup should find success against this group. Miami will have to live and die by the big play, the Cowboys will have to make sure they don’t have any lapses.

Watch NFL Denver Broncos vs Green Bay Packers football Live Stream NFL Week 03

Free Denver Broncos vs Green Bay Packers live stream Free Online NFL Week 03 Sunday Football 22 September 2019, NFL online live with HD quality on PC, Laptop, iPhone, Ipad and Android over the Internet. It’s Will be kick of at Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin, United States, Time 01:00 PM (ET) broadcast on NFL Network, CBS, Fox Sports, NBC, ESPN and and Online.



The Denver Broncos travel to Green Bay, Wisconsin to take on the Packers. We take a look at everything that you need to know ahead of this matchup. A rare matchup comes our way on the third Sunday of the football season. The Denver Broncos take on the Green Bay Packers in what could be a really critical game for the Broncos. Denver is currently searching for their first win of 2019 while the Packers attempt to start the year 3-0.

Aaron Rodgers vs. Joe Flacco should be an interesting matchup. Some key stats going into Sunday”s game do not favor the Denver Broncos. That is the team has not won a game in Lambeau Field in franchise history. Joe Flacco is also looking for his first win against the Packers, having gone 0-3 against the NFC North team.

The streaks have to end at some point, correct? It surely is not a promising look so far. Not trying to be negative, but the stats are not promising. But streaks are meant to be broken at some point. Broncos Country is hopeful it can happen on Sunday. But we shall see. Let us take a look at a key early season matchup in Green Bay.

The Denver Broncos (0-2) head to Lambeau to face the Green Bay Packers (2-0) desperate for a their first win of the season. After getting robbed of victory last week, Broncos Country has been feeling a bit downtrodden despite the overall feeling that talent and coaching is much improved this year.

Very few of us on staff are feeling confident this week too, with a collective score giving the Packers a 24-17 victory over the Broncos. Individually, however, the difference of opinion couldn’t be more stark.

My opinion of this game hasn’t changed since Thursday when I wrote the NFL picks post for this week. The key for Denver in this game will be a successful rushing attack and by successful I mean close to 200 yards on the ground a success in the run game. Keep Aaron Rodgers off the field and come out with a strong road win. I think they can do it too and I said as much at the end of our Something Something Broncos podcast on Friday.

This one probably won’t be close. I’ve had the Packers as a legitimate Super Bowl contender since last year’s draft and they’ve done little to move me off that prediction. If Denver can’t play keep away effectively with the rushing attack and short passing game, Rodgers is going to shred them.

Last week Green Bay’s scripted plays to open the game made them look unbeatable. The game got tight in part because they got really conservative, but it’s always a bit scary when you’re hoping the opposing coach pulls a LaFleur to keep you in it.


This will be yet another snorefest which will see two good defenses going up against two okay offenses. The Broncos are getting close to putting together a a solid game on all sides of the ball but this one is in Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers is still a talented dude. Broncos make it close, but Packers pull off a close one.



The Denver Broncos have never won a game at Lambeau Field, and unfortunately, this probably isn’t the team to do it. I tried so hard to convince myself that the Broncos could win, but there are just too many variables that point towards an 0-3 start. As I mentioned to Ian St. Clair on the MHR Radio Podcast, the offense doesn’t have the fire power, and the defense looks lost. It won’t be pretty, and it won’t be fun. Packers win 31-17.

Conventional wisdom says go with the Packers. As Adam said, the Broncos have never won in Green Bay. Heck, they’ve never won in Wisconsin. Earlier this week on the MHR Radio Podcast, I even predicted a Packers win. But after a few days, I have a feeling Denver uses what happened against the Bears as motivation, plays a complete game, and the Broncos win on Sunday. Of course, this could also be the huge tub of popcorn that I just ate while watching “Downton Abbey” the movie creating this “feeling.

NFL Atlanta Falcons vs Indianapolis Colts football Live Stream Online NFL Week 03

Watch Atlanta Falcons vs Indianapolis Colts live stream Free Online NFL Week 03 Sunday Football 22 September 2019, NFL online live with HD quality on PC, Laptop, iPhone, Ipad and Android over the Internet. It’s Will be kick of at Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, Time 01:00 PM (ET) broadcast on NFL Network, CBS, Fox Sports, NBC, ESPN and and Online.


The Indianapolis Colts (1-1) get to enjoy the friendly confines of Lucas Oil Stadium for the first time this season, as they play host to the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) on Sunday for a pivotal Week 3 cross-conference matchup.

The Colts spent the first two weeks of the post-Andrew Luck era on the road with mixed results against a pair of AFC playoff contenders. Week 1 ended with a heartbreaking 30-24 overtime loss to the Chargers. But thanks in large part to three touchdown passes from Luck’s replacement, Jacoby Brissett, the Colts managed to bounce back with a 19-17 upset win over division rival Tennessee in Nashville this past Sunday. Indianapolis will now look to carry that momentum into Sunday’s home opener against Atlanta.

The Falcons also came away with mixed results after spending the first two weeks of the season playing the role of underdog against a pair of NFC playoff contenders. A Week 1 road trip to Minnesota ended poorly with a lopsided 28-12 loss to the Vikings. But, courtesy of some late-game heroics from Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, the Falcons did manage to rebound with a 24-20 victory over the Eagles in their home opener last Sunday night. The Week 2 win should provide a much-needed boost of momentum, as they get set to hit the road again to play the role of underdog for the third week in a row.

It was never going to be easy for the Colts to contain Atlanta’s high-octane passing attack. But that challenge will be far greater without the services of All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard, who has been ruled out because of a concussion. Top cornerback Pierre Desir is dealing with a knee injury but he still has a shot of playing on Sunday. Desir’s absence would leave some combination of cornerbacks Kenny Moore (still nursing a broken thumb), Rock Ya-Sin (a rookie), and Quincy Wilson (poor grade of 51.1 from Pro Football Focus) with the unenviable task of contending with star wide receivers Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. That possibility does not bode well for the Indianapolis pass defense.

However, hope is not completely lost. The Colts can still lean on a formidable pass rush, led by Justin Houston and Denico Autry, to potentially make life difficult for Matt Ryan and company. Indianapolis has already racked up eight sacks and 13 quarterback hits through the first two weeks. And a beat-up Falcons offensive line appears ripe for the picking in Week 3. Consistent pressure will be critical for the Indianapolis defense on Sunday. Matt Ryan has already thrown five interceptions under duress in just two games.

Falcons running back Devonte Freeman has been the model of consistency through the first two weeks — just not in a good way. The two-time Pro Bowler finished with just 19 rushing yards against the Vikings in Week 1 and only 22 rushing yards against the Eagles. To be fair, Freeman was facing two of the best run defenses in the league in those matchups, and running lanes haven’t exactly been plentiful behind a revamped Atlanta offensive line thus far. But the Falcons will need to get a lot more from Freeman, along with backup Ito Smith, for this offense to reach its full potential moving forward.

The good news is that Week 3 could provide a solution for Atlanta’s woes in the run game. Opposing running backs have averaged 5.5 yards per carry against the generous Indianapolis run defense through two games. And the Falcons’ chances for success on the ground improve with Leonard already being ruled out as well as defensive tackle Jabaal Sheard (knee injury). It will be telling if Freeman and/or Smith cannot take advantage of what appears to be a favorable matchup.

The days of Indianapolis putting up gaudy numbers in the passing game are over. The Colts are now a run-first team that relies on a stout offensive line and running back Marlon Mack to do most of the heavy lifting. That, in part, explains why Indianapolis is currently ranked dead last in the NFL in passing yards per game (147).

The other part of that explanation is that Jacoby Brissett is not Andrew Luck, nor does he attempt to be. That said, he has proven to be a more than serviceable replacement. Despite Brissett’s lackluster yardage totals through the first two weeks, he’s thrown five touchdown passes to just one interception, he’s been nearly flawless in the red zone, and he boasts a passer rating of 107.8. For perspective, Matt Ryan’s passer rating currently sits at 82.8.


So, how do Brissett and the Colts’ passing game stack up against the Falcons? On paper, not well. The Falcons have the No. 1-ranked pass defense in the NFL right now, allowing just 167 yards per game through the air. However, that ranking is a bit misleading due to the Falcons facing just 10 pass attempts in Week 1, and Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz spending most of Week 2 matchup without his top two receivers.



Regardless, Brissett and company could still be in for a serious challenge, particularly if Mack is limited by the calf injury that caused him to miss practice earlier this week. If Mack and fellow running backs Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines are unable to gain much ground against the Falcons, that will force the Colts into the uncomfortable position of going to the air more often than they would like. That also would play right into the hands of an emerging Atlanta pass rush, which routinely overwhelmed a top-flight Eagles offensive line last week and left Carson Wentz on his back more times than I could count. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

The Colts are a very resilient football team, led by a great head coach in Frank Reich. And no matter what, they are going to put up a good fight on Sunday with home-field advantage on their side. That said, it’s hard to overlook the injuries. The Colts will be without Darius Leonard, their best defender, and top cornerback Pierre Desir and running back Marlon Mack also are dealing with injuries. No. 1 wide receiver T.Y. Hilton also isn’t expected to be at 100 percent on Sunday because of a quad issue. And with all due respect to legendary Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, he can’t be trusted to make an extra point right now, much less kick a 50-yard game-winner. It’s simply too much for the Colts to overcome in a matchup that seems to be setting up nicely for the Falcons.
