"Matthews played through a high-ankle sprain to give his team the best opportunity to win. Matthews was credited with a sack on a play where the entire line lost its rep. Outside of that, he only gave up two pressures."
"When Pitts was allowed to run real routes instead of screens, he dominated. He's also become one of the more reliable blockers on the team, consistently springing his fellow teammates for solid gains. Pitts isn't putting up giga numbers, but this year no one's putting that blame on him because the tape has shown he's doing everything asked of him at full speed-and doing it well."
The Falcons lost a primetime game despite several encouraging individual performances. Matthews extended a remarkable consecutive-starts streak while playing through a high-ankle sprain, recording a sack and limiting pressures. Pitts flourished when running real routes and has improved as a blocker, leading the team in EPA/target against man coverage entering Week 7, yet remains underutilized in the passing game. Harrison continued a breakout run with another sack and a tackle for loss. Coaching decisions, schematic issues, and inconsistent team execution are limiting the team’s ability to convert individual play into wins.
