Falcons used the Steelers blue print and if not for an Epic performance from Jonathan Taylor that would’ve been a loss also

I agree. Our offense was very much exposed at Pitt, and if not for an otherworldly performance by JT we would have been saying the same thing vs. ATL. When KC implemented this gameplan after the half our O became a 3 and out machine. Then this carried over into the Hou game (although Hou doesn't really need to blitz b/c of their DL). Of course we have no idea how much Jones' injury had to play in the KC and Hou games.
