What happened: ESPN's pass-rush win rate lists Maason Smith atop NFL defensive tackles at 31%. Brandon Dorlus sits third at 28%, putting two Atlanta interior linemen inside the top three.

Why it matters: Interior wins collapse the pocket without extra rushers and shorten quarterback timing. Two highly rated interior rushers give Atlanta a repeatable advantage on passing downs.

What to watch: Watch whether both sustain those rates against upcoming interior offensive lines.
