Week 10: Atlanta Falcons (8-0) @ New Orleans Saints (3-5)

[55]

Falcons have absolutely no running game today. If they lose, that will be a big reason why.

No running game today? More like no running game.

I mean Turner did have over 100yrds rushing last week so this statement makes no sense at all.

Over or under 5 punts combined by both teams.

Jimmy killed that drive for the Saints

Half of that was all on one run, though. Most of his runs were 3 yards or less. I think he might have had 5 carries for longer than 4 yards

Doesn't matter the one run still happen. Just like how half of the Saints rushing yards today came off one run. It still happened. A team can do a great job defending the run all game but all it takes is one to break things open

Right, but one big run does not equate to having a running game, especially when Turner's still averaging a career worst yard per carry.

He's slowed down an we just aren't running it as much. Turner needs carries to get in a rhythm an wear down defenders. That's when he starts breaking off gains. It's not like the run game in non existent, it's just not as good as its been in the past and it was elite in the past.
