The Chicago Bears play the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday at noon. The Bears are 6th in the NFL in stopping the run while the Falcons are 21st. The Bears are 9th in rushing yards while the Falcons are 2nd.
This should be a great battle between a good running team in the Falcons against a good run defense in the Bears.
Not so fast!
Thankfully I do my homework.
The Falcons are running frauds. Let me prove it to you.
In week 1 they played the 30th ranked run defense of the Detroit Lions who allowed them 320 total rushing yards.
In week 2 they played the 14th ranked run defense of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and were held to 105 total rushing yards.
In week 3 they played the 31st ranked run defense of the Kansas City Chiefs who allowed them 194 total rushing yards.
In week 4 they played the 13th ranked run defense of the Carolina Panthers and were held to 118 total rushing yards.
In week 5 they played the 27th ranked run defense of the Green Bay Packers who allowed them 176 total rushing yards.
Just to add the Bears have won the last 8 of nine against the Falcons.
You can make it 9 out of 10 after Sunday.
The Falcons running game will be held in check by da Bears!
