Why the Falcons offense is too good for the Patriots defense

Super Bowl 51 is coming up, and it's going to be a fun one. The Patriots and the Falcons will be facing off in both of their most important games of the year. On one side, you have Tom Brady who is going to his 7th Super Bowl. On the other side, you have Matt Ryan who is going to be playing in his 1st Super Bowl. For now, I'm going to focus in on the Falcons offense, an offense that has been on fire these past few weeks.

I do not think the Patriots defense will be able to slow down the Falcons offense. Whatever Matt Patricia does, it won't be enough to stop them. Here's why.

I'm going to start off with Matt Ryan, who, by the way was just named the 2016 NFL MVP. Matt Ryan has been tearing apart defenses in the playoffs. He started off against the Seattle defense, and threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns. Then the Falcons played the Packers and Ryan threw for 392 yards and 4 touchdowns. In the Seattle game, Ryan had a 125.7 passer rating. In the Packers game, Ryan had a 139.4 passer rating. Tom Brady does have more experience in big games, and that might come into play late in the game.

Then there's Julio Jones. I don't think anyone can cover him man to man. Jones went against a 6'2" Ladarius Gunt
er in the NFC Championship game, so I don't think he'll have much of a problem against the 5'11" Malcolm Butler. Even if the Patriots double cover Jones, the Falcons still have Mohammed Sanu, another tall 6'2" receiver. Once they focus on Sanu, Matt Ryan can start going to the speedy Taylor Gabriel.

I didn't even get to the running backs. Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman. Both are a lot alike and can run the ball and slip out for a pass outside of the backfield. I think the Falcons will win 31-23.
