Falcons CB Jalen Collins vs. Rams WR Kenny Britt: Collins has played well in man-to-man and zone coverage in the three games he's replaced Desmond Trufant. The Chiefs didn't test him much last week as he had just one tackle and one pass breakup. Britt has caught 56 passes for 855 yards and five touchdowns. After a bumpy start to his career, Britt seems to have matured. "Kenny has played well for us this year," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "He's been consistent and he's made some big plays."
Falcons SS Keanu Neal vs. Rams TE Lance Kendricks: Neal was abused in coverage last week as the Falcons gave up eight catches for 140 yards to Kansas City's Travis Kelce. Kendricks has 43 catches for 433 yards and two touchdowns. "Anytime he got into trouble with this one, we called it eye discipline, so those ones, if you're playing man-to-man, where your eyes aren't back on the quarterback, where you're locked on your guy, those ones are fixable," Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. "With his intent and his mindset, I fully expect that to happen."
Falcons LG Andy Levitre vs. Rams DT Aaron Donald: Levitre is having a strong second season with the Falcons. He'll have to anchor and anticipate Donald's quickness. He gave up a sack to Tampa Bay's Gerald McCoy in their matchup earlier this season. Donald, a two-time Pro Bowler, is a disruptive force and has six sacks this season. He was ejected from a game earlier in the season after making contact with a referee.
