Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons have a -9.2 percent pass rate over expected
To be fair to Atlanta, that’s not even in the bottom five because of how often offenses are leaning on the run this year. The Falcons are likely using their ground game, which ranks 12th in yards per carry and 13th in success rate, to ease Kirk Cousins back into football. Cousins struggled in his first game back from the torn Achilles but played better in Week 2.

Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson’s deep throws rate of 10.7 percent is his lowest since his rookie season
Even worse, Jackson is 1-of-8 on his deep attempts. The Ravens bet on Rashod Bateman to take the next step and fill a role as Jackson’s deep threat and that hasn’t happened. They are now stuck funneling targets to Zay Flowers, who has double-digit targets in both games so far.
Buffalo Bills
The Bills rank 27th in pass rate on early downs
This is despite being a top-three offense when passing on early downs and just the No. 11 running back on early downs. They have a negative five percent pass rate over expected (PROE). That has powered James Cook to 149 rushing yards and two scores on the ground. The Jags don’t look like they can push Buffalo to pass more in Week 3, so expect another heavy dose of Cook this week.
