Neither the Falcons nor the Seahawks expected to be in this situation: trailing in their divisions,Authentic Germain Ifedi Jersey, fighting for survival, no longer favorites in the NFC. But here they are. It's Week 11 and both teams that entered the season with legitimate Super Bowl hopes are facing a must-win game on Monday night if they're going to catch the new front-runners.
Obviously, and a non-existent running game. And it's not like Darrell Bevell is some offensive mastermind. Wilson is often forced to run around like crazy in the backfield to buy time for his receivers before launching up jump balls., Steve Sarkisian, there are other factors at play for Ryan's regression. Kyle Shanahan's replacement, a better offensive line, has been a disaster as the new offensive coordinator. But Ryan is the one with Julio Jones,Womens Shaquill Griffin Jersey, and a good ground game. Wilson is the one with a disaster of an offensive line, a good-not-great receiving corps
and it's why some people believe Wilson is a generational quarterback.,Yeah, but I don't care. It's awesome, this throw below probably should've been picked
Wilson better hope new left tackle Duane Brown can play. Brown,Womens Delano Hill Jersey, who is dealing with a sprained ankle, is listed as questionable. He's needed if the Seahawks are going to survive against Adrian Clayborn.
Tobin has never started a game at left tackle in his career. That's not great -- for the Seahawks.,It's not like Clayborn has consistently dominated opposing offensive lines. Clayborn hadn't racked up six sacks in a single season since 2011. And getting a hold of Wilson,Womens Nazair Jones Jersey, as that clip above proves, is rather difficult. But he feasted on a bad backup last week and if Brown can't play, he'll have another opportunity to do so against Matt Tobin. According to The Seattle Times
That's a misleading header, Sherman allowed a 63.8 passer rating in coverage., because the Seahawks can't replace either of those players,Womens Tyler Lockett Jersey, according to Pro Football Focus, both of whom are out for the season. Since entering the NFL in 2011, Sherman has 32 interceptions -- the most in that span by six picks. This year, he's allowed a 75.5 passer rating in coverage. Last year
but don't mistake him for Sherman.,Womens Germain Ifedi Jersey,To try to replace him, the Seahawks signed former Legion of Boom member Byron Maxwell, who rebounded last year by allowing a 71.6 passer rating in coverage. Maxwell is serviceable and finds himself in a good situation, playing on a good defense with a strong pass rush
His absence will have a domino effect. Teams already tried to pick on rookie Shaquill Griffin and they're unlikely to stop now. Griffin's handled himself well (79.7 passer rating in coverage, per PFF), but he'll face an even bigger test without Sherman.
averaging 79.4 receiving yards per game and scoring only one touchdown.,The bad news: Julio Jones is coming to town. The good news: Jones hasn't been himself this season
which should provide the Seahawks cornerbacks with some much needed air support.,More good news: All-World free safety Earl Thomas is expected to return after a two-game absence
I wouldn't have given the Falcons a chance to win this game if the Seahawks were healthy on defense. But they're not.
the Falcons are actually averaging 4.5 yards per carry -- the fifth-highest average in football.,The Falcons should be able to run the ball against this version of the Seahawks' defense. On the season

it's usually been because of Wilson and his incredible big plays. The Falcons are going to make more of those in this game.,The first upset pick belongs to Bleacher Report's Chris Simms, who believes Atlanta will win 23-21:This is another game with similar defensive schemes going against each other. There's no more Richard Sherman on Seattle's side, and that's scary against this Falcons offense. Atlanta may not be as explosive as it was last year,Authentic Delano Hill Jersey, but people seem to forget that last year's offense was a historic one.The Falcons still have one of the best offensive units in football. There are still concerns about Seattle's offense because it's a one-man show. As incredible as Russell Wilson can be, don't expect him to light up this speedy Atlanta defense. The Falcons have the quickness on the edge with ends and linebackers to contain Wilson. He won't be able to just run around and make some of the magical plays we've seen him make this year.

Yet they're still favored to beat the Atlanta Falcons.
