"The Atlanta Falcons finally beat a team they were supposed to. Their three previous wins this year had come against Vikings and Bills teams expected to be far better than they actually are and the Commanders before they came apart completely, while their losses came to the Panthers (twice!) and hapless Dolphins, as well as a few good teams. The Saints represented yet another bottom feeder, but this time Atlanta actually won."
"The Jets and Falcons have quite similar defenses, though the Jets have allowed many more points than Atlanta. What really separates these two teams-you'll note they're also discouragingly close in scoring-is the passing game and turnovers. The Jets are one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL while the Falcons are merely mediocre, but the bigger deal is that the Jets basically do no force turnovers and are much more generous about doling them out than Atlanta."
The Falcons earned a needed win over the Saints after earlier victories against underperforming Vikings, Bills, and a collapsing Commanders while suffering losses to Panthers, Dolphins, and stronger teams. The upcoming game against the Jets continues a soft schedule and represents a must-win to validate recent success. The Jets and Falcons deploy similar defenses, but the Jets have surrendered more points; the decisive differences are passing offense and turnover margin. The Jets rank among the league's worst passing teams and struggle to force turnovers. The Jets underwent coaching and roster changes, added rookies Armand Membou and Mason Taylor, but roster floor improvements have been limited.
