Atlanta Falcons vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Start time: 9:30 a.m. ET
Channel/Streaming options: ESPN+, Disney+, NFL+

The Falcons doubled down on their roster this offseason by giving QB Desmond Ridder the nod to start the season under center. The rushing offense continues to be a driving force for Atlanta. However, when asked to pass this season, Ridder and the Falcons have struggled. Will those struggles cause Atlanta to fall short against the Jaguars in London?

Thankfully, the Falcons’ rushing game matches up well against Jacksonville this season. RB Tyler Allgeier has averaged 3.4 yards per carry in the red zone since the 2022 season, tied for seventh best among running backs. Jacksonville allows 3.5 yards per carry when defending in the red zone, tied for worst in the NFL.

Additionally, RBs have found a ton of space in the passing game against the Jaguars’ defense. Jacksonville has allowed 463 yards after the catch this season, the most in the league. Falcons running backs have gained 162 yards after the catch this season — second most in the league. Specifically, rookie RB Bijan Robinson has gained 123 yards after the catch, tied for most among RBs.

If Atlanta can lean on the run game to limit what Ridder has to do, the Falcons could easily surprise a struggling Jaguars squad.
