The Atlanta Falcons Defense is not a viable starting option this week against the Chargers. The unit has allowed at least 20 points in three of the past four games. Though Justin Herbert and company were shut out by the Patriots last week, the rookie signal-caller is more than capable of producing. In seven of […]
