In this story:


ATLANTA, Ga – The Atlanta Falcons are back in Atlanta this weekend, looking to get back over .500 after a tough loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday. Awaiting them is a struggling Miami Dolphins squad that is facing questions about the future of its quarterback and head coach. 

The Falcons enter this game as a strong favorite over the 1-6 Dolphins, but they are not focused on what the record might say. 

“We're talking about a team that's got great speed, very similar to the team we just played,” head coach Raheem Morris said about Miami. “You're not looking at a team that hadn't played everybody extremely tough. I think they had one game they played poorly, a very similar story to us, and they have a couple of games [where] they were right into it towards the very end. You're going to play against a National Football League – pro football team – that is very good and I know well coached, and I know can absolutely come out there and design something to try to get wins every single day.”

This is still a struggling football team on offense. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has thrown for six interceptions in his last two games, and they are fresh off a disastrous showing against the Cleveland Browns, where they scored just six points. 

Defensively, expect the Falcons to look to take advantage of a struggling run defense with its potent rushing attack. The big task for the Falcons this week is to find out how to turn their strong offensive numbers into points against a unit allowing nearly 30 points per game.
