I hate to say it sports fans, but this is one that Dak, Zeke, DLaw, Jaylon, Cooper have to be star players and rise to the occasion. A loss I think spells disaster for this team. Coaching staff can't lay an egg. They need to have some crafty plays in there to help this banged up Oline succeed despite the injuries. They need to have a solid game plan for this week. Can't lose at home. Atlanta is feeling the same pressure after getting embarrassed last week at home. This is going to be a tough game this week.

Since 2007, 98 teams have started 0-2. Only 12 (12.2 percent) of them turned it around to make the playoffs and one of those (the 2008 Chargers) made it with an 8-8 record.
The Texans and Seahawks last season, the Saints in 2017, the Dolphins in 2016, the Texans and Seahawks in 2015, the Colts from 2014, the 2013 Panthers, the Dolphins, Chargers and Vikings in 2008, and the
2007 Giants are the only team to win the Super Bowl.
