Wins over the Eagles and the Giants have Falcons fans singing praises of their team, but it’s still plenty early. Matt Ryan hasn’t been poor but hasn’t been anything special, instead relying on the superstar play of veteran Julio Jones who has yet to disappoint this year.
However, Tevin Coleman was carted off and diagnosed with a broken rib which takes their #1 RB off the field for an undetermined number of weeks. In addition, Devin Hester was still a no-go and remains week-to-week ahead of Atlanta’s business trip to Dallas who are without Tony Romo.
30. . (2-0). Previous: . New York Jets. 10. team
Cleveland was no match for the J-E-T-S in week one, succumbing to a 31-10 loss, and then turned around and made Andrew Luck look silly in a 20-7 road win in Indy.
Darelle Revis was put on T.Y. Hilton to lock him down and Luck threw three picks, one in the direction of Revis Island to the man himself, and the rest of the Jets D outperformed Indianapolis plain and simple. Ryan Fitzpatrick was off to a hot start and should be complimented for his bounce back after the interception, and Todd Bowles employed the perfect strategy to keep his offense on the field and the ball out of Luck’s hands.
New York heads home and will host the Eagles next week in their bid to improve to 3-0.
