6 players to watch over the Falcons’ final 6 games of the season

Atlanta’s playoff chances are razor thin at this point, but until the team is mathematically eliminated, things should be interesting at the very least.

McKinley finally got a sack last week, despite bringing good pressure off the edge pretty much all season. Atlanta’s defensive line has been a factor since the team made a few coaching and schematic changes during the bye, recording 11 sacks over the past two weeks. Many were expecting big things this season from the former UCLA standout, and I still expect to see McKinley notch 5-6 more sacks before the year is over.
