The Atlanta Falcons lost their first preseason game last week 23-3 to the Tennessee Titans. The Falcons didn't use any projected starters in the game, but the offense still performed below expectations.

Atlanta quarterbacks A.J. McCarron and Feleipe Franks are vying the spot behind starter Matt Ryan. The two backups combined to go 7-21 passing for 21 yards and were sacked five times against Tennessee.

The lone bright spot for the Atlanta offense was a 52-yard scramble from Franks. That was more than a third of Atlanta's total offense of 138 yards.

The Falcons defense under new coordinator Dean Pees showed promise. Despite getting no help from the offense, the Falcons allowed just 23 points on 244 total yards and registered four sacks.

It remains to be seen how much of Ryan, receiver Calvin Ridley and rookie tight end Kyle Pitts will play on Saturday night, but they've looked terrific in training camp and in practice this week against the Dolphins.

With just two preseason games left before the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 12, the Falcons need to start getting their first-team players game ready.

That could begin on Saturday night against the Dolphins.
