No they are not. They are bottom ten in yards allowed per rush. I'd wager that if people didn't throw so much on us, that number might even be higher................We gotta shore that up to make a run in the NFCE. Lesean McCoy and Bradshaw are both going to cream us if we don't...

I think you have some fair points but still think we are better if they have to run due to weather. Just playing with the stats, we are tied with Houston for 4th least rush attempts against our defense. And 19th in yards per attempt. As is our nature, though, we have a tendency to be a stiff defense, then give up one or two long runs. The longest being 53 (6th longest in the league).

Ultimately, while ATL might get one or two big plays it won't be a scoring fest for them if the game is more run oriented.
