"The Atlanta Falcons will be facing an uphill climb to get their running game back on track against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10. They are down at least one starter on their offensive line, left guard Matthew Bergeron, and may be down another with right guard Chris Lindstrom listed as questionable. Coupled with the continued reliance on backup right tackle Elijah Wilkinson, the Falcons' offensive line will face their biggest challenge of the season in Germany on Sunday morning."
"I've written about the Falcons' need to be more physical in recent weeks-a goal the team failed to achieve-and it's no coincidence that the team is on the verge of matching its longest losing streak under head coach Raheem Morris should they fail to rebound against the Colts. When the Falcons dropped four straight games in 2024, it was easy to blame it on quarterback Kirk Cousins' excessive turnovers during that stretch."
Offensive-line injuries and inconsistent personnel have undermined the Falcons' rushing attack ahead of Week 10 against the Colts in Germany. Left guard Matthew Bergeron is out and right guard Chris Lindstrom is questionable, with backup right tackle Elijah Wilkinson still starting. The run game has largely disappeared, contributing to a three-game losing streak and leaving the offense unbalanced despite capable pass-catchers. Michael Penix's development remains important long term, but immediate results require a reestablished ground game. Drake London and Kyle Pitts have led the passing attack, yet they cannot fully compensate for the lack of physicality and effectiveness in rushing.
