"The Atlanta Falcons put together a performance worthy of eyeball bleach in Week 3, failing to score a point - or even cross the Panthers' 30-yard-line - through four quarters. It was an abysmal performance, one that led to the firing of wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson moving down from the press box to the field for play-calling duties."
"Those changes might bear fruit for the Falcons, but it's certainly not the reason that FanDuel has Atlanta as the favorite over Washington by 2.5 points on Sunday. No, the main reason is the injuries to quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin that will cause both to miss the game. Daniels did not play in Week 3 due to a knee injury, and Terry McLaurin is dealing with a quad injury that he picked up last week against the Raiders."
Atlanta produced zero points and failed to cross the Panthers' 30-yard line in Week 3, prompting the firing of wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard and a move of offensive coordinator Zac Robinson to on-field play-calling. FanDuel lists Atlanta as a 2.5-point favorite largely because Washington will be without quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin due to knee and quad injuries. Michael Penix struggled against the Panthers, including overthrowing receivers and throwing a pick-six. Washington plans to start Marcus Mariota, who completed 15 of 21 passes with a touchdown and added 40 rushing yards and a score last week. With a 1-2 record, Atlanta faces a must-win at home before a bye and a looming game against the Bills.
