Falcons right guard Wes Schweitzer continues to play well after that shaky debut in the season-opener at Chicago.
Over 57 offensive snaps against Miami on Sunday, a 20-17 loss, Schweitzer didn’t’ allow a pressure in 39 pass blocking snaps and finished with his highest game grade (83.3) of the season from profootballfocus.com.
He has now graded as a top-10 guard in two consecutive games.
