Road Warriors: How Good The Atlanta Falcons Really Are on The Road

Recently on NFL Network's NFC Playbook, Michael Lombardi said the key to their matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be the performance of the run defense against LeGarrette Blount. He said that Atlanta's rush defense was good at home, but implied that they had struggled on the road.

Most would take this statement as gospel truth, but the stats don't lie.

Great article, btw. That's the only part that I might critique or change. I have a Steelers' fan friend at work, and even he knows and has remarked that Lombardi is a windbag that doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time.
