The Falcons will count on wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Russel Gage, tight end Hayden Hurst and running backs Ito Smith and Brian Hill to assist quarterback Matt Ryan in the attack. Falcons will need to play against the Chiefs, especially in attack, if they are to have a chance of victory.
It will be interesting to see if Santa’s injury designation changes before the game.
