For some of the players, it pumps more belief in them, Morris said Tuesday when the Falcons returned to Atlanta after beating the Eagles 22-21 in Philadelphia. For the coaches, we go around saying it all the time, but when players go out and execute and do it, it's something that creates this energy for those guys knowing they can do anything at any time.
You can never say, Oh, we unlocked things, and now it's going to be this way or that way,' Cousins said. You just keep fighting every play.
Atlanta averaged 2.04 yards per carry before contact against the Eagles compared with .95 yards per carry before contact against the Steelers, according to TruMedia. For the season, they are now ninth in the NFL in EPA per carry (.04).
