This loss has significant ramifications for the New Orleans Saints, as they won’t have to face one of the NFL’s rising stars. Suddenly, the two matchups against the rivals are looking a lot simpler, particularly for Tyler Shough and Kellen Moore’s offense. Because of this, the Falcons are scrambling after losing their top two off-the-ball, versatile linebackers this offseasonThe absence of Jalon Walker makes the Falcons’ defense more predictable for Tyler Shough. The Falcons can still do this after Walker’s injury, but it won’t be nearly as successful, and they can’t get as creative. This should relieve Tyler Shough, as the young quarterback was constantly pressured against Atlanta last year, getting sacked nine times in their two matchups.
