NFL London: Shortage delayed positive signs of Falcons main rushing attack

In the past three seasons, the Falcons' hasty pace has ranked last in the NFL London. As Tevin Coleman led the team with 800 yards, in the past three seasons, their 27th-place finish in 2018 was their highest. Since Devonta Freeman ran 1,079 yards in the 2016 season, the Falcons haven't even had a thousand rushers. Fans can buy NFL London Tickets and Falcons vs Jets Tickets from our website.

Matt Ryan is under a lot of pressure almost every time he falls

Including Arthur Smith and running backs Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson, the Falcons introduced reinforcements during the off-season to restore their running game.

Davis became a North Carolina player in 2020 after Christian McCaffrey's injury, scoring 642 rushing yards, 373 receiving yards, and 8 total touchdowns. Patterson sprinted for 232 yards last season and ran back in time for the wide receiver.

Coordinator for Tennessee for the past two seasons Smith has served as the offensive. The Titans' attack has gone through the past two seasons of NFL rush champion Derrick Henry, becoming the eighth last season to exceed the 2,000-yard mark.

In the regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon, the difference in the race was immediately apparent.

Davis broke out for a 12-yard run in the second game of the melee, dropping his shoulders before falling to the ground and dragging a defender. Patterson also easily found a job opening. The total distance of his first two dribbles was 25 yards.

The total yards were more than in seven different games last season, the Falcons had accumulated 86 yards, by the end of the first quarter. More than 95.8 yards per game last NFL season, In 9 minutes of the second quarter game, the team had 102 rushing yards. The sudden attack excited fans, even writing on Twitter: "Cordarrelle Patterson is my favorite person. Mike Davis is on the rise."

Deficit delayed positive signs of Falcons main rushing attack

But, like a cliché, all good things come to an end. The run came to a halt in the second half. Just 16 yards in the second half and for related more of the games, the Atlanta Falcons additional just 22 yards on the ground. The team got no yards on the ground in the third quarter that ended with a negative two yards.

As base runs dwindled, the Falcons' deficit grew and the attack was forced to take to the skies, but by then, with no fear of base runs, everything about the Falcons became a challenge. With a passerby who isn't afraid to run, Matt Ryan is under a lot of pressure almost every time he falls.

Ryan said he thinks Patterson and Davis are doing well, but the lack of effective attack will affect their chances of keeping the game going.

Ryan said. "We saw them start practices and running from the back to get more benefits, I hope NFL last the season we did this early stage in the game."

Rookie Jalen Mayfield played in the NFL game for the first time on Sunday as a left-back. Mayfield said he knew how good the Eagles' defenses were when they came into play and the Falcons' physical fitness came to the fore because they knew they had to fight against the Philly defenses, but his mistakes and those of others had to pay them in the Cost game.

Mayfield said: "We keep improving throughout the week and find a way to do better in the next [Sunday] the game against Tampa."

In the end, Sunday's game against the Eagles showed the effectiveness of the Falcons' running play, but if the Falcons run into a huge gap in the game, there's no chance for the running play.
