What happened: Atlanta ranks third in ESPN pass rush win rate at 61% and sixth in run stop win rate at 32%. The unit also sits eighth in total EPA and 13th in EPA against the pass.
Why it matters: Atlanta generates pressure on 44.2% of opponent dropbacks, highest in the league, while allowing pressure on 24.4% of its own snaps, lowest in the league. That two-way trench edge follows Atlanta topping Sunday in opponent total EPA.
By the numbers: Opp rush EPA/carry: -0.22 (3rd) | Pass rush win rate: 61% (3rd) | Run stop win rate: 32% (6th) | EPA/Play: 8th | Success %: 6th | EPA/Rush: 1st
What to watch: Whether Atlanta holds that top-three mark into October will shape early NFC standings.
