What to Know

The Washington Football Team are staying on the road Sunday to face off against the Atlanta Falcons at 1 p.m. ET Oct. 3 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta should still be feeling good after a win, while Washington will be looking to get back in the win column.

Washington found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 43-21 punch to the gut against the Buffalo Bills last week. Washington was down 36-14 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. No one had a standout game offensively for Washington, but they got scores from TE Logan Thomas and RB Antonio Gibson. QB Taylor Heinicke ended up with a passer rating of 143.40.

Meanwhile, it was a close one, but last week the Falcons sidestepped the New York Giants for a 17-14 victory. Like Washington, Atlanta didn't have any clear offensive standouts, but they got scores from CB Isaiah Oliver, TE Lee Smith, and WR Olamide Zaccheaus. QB Matt Ryan ended up with a passer rating of 150.

This next game is expected to be close, with Washington going off at just a 1.5-point favorite. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.

Washington and Atlanta now sit at an identical 1-2. A pair of defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Washington is stumbling into the contest with the second most yards allowed per game in the league, having given up 432 on average. Atlanta has experienced some struggles of their own as they are third worst in the NFL in touchdowns allowed, with ten on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
