Aaron breaks down a key to victory by looking at the Atlanta Falcons' potential to start fast in their Week 9 matchup with the New Orleans Saints.

He looks at the Falcons' lack of touchdowns on opening drives thus far in the 2021 season and what else needs to change if the team plans to slow down the Saints' rushing attack. Then, he looks at their Thursday practice report to discuss the absence of Jonathan Bullard and whether that should create more opportunities for younger defensive linemen like John Cominsky in the rotation, before looking at Russell Gage's potential to have a rebound performance along with the rest of the Falcons offense. Finally, he looks at the difference between Matt Ryan's efficiency when he's pushing the ball down the field in wins and losses this year as another way of showcasing why this offense is better when they're aggressive.
