AD vs Ben Garland? Difference in the game right there.

The Falcons are going to be trying to keep pace with the Rams league-leading offense.
On grass.
On the road.

Added to these two huge hurdles is the fact that they will be facing the best defensive player on the planet, Aaron Donald. A well rested Aaron Donald. No worries though. They are going to be relying on the skill and experience of........................................................Ben Garland.

Garland is their back up O Lineman. An O Lineman who played more snaps (10) @ DL last year than he did as an OL. An O Lineman who played more snaps on ST last year than he did on offense.

Matt Ryan needs time to throw. Freeman and Coleman are going to need holes to run through. If they double Donald, that will free the rest of the Rams DL to rush the passer (Quinn) or plug those holes (Brockers). If they keep Hooper in to help with Aaron, that throws a monkey wrench into their entire offensive scheme.

I think Donald is going to disrupt their offense and get the ball back in the hands of the Rams offense, and that will be the difference in this game.
