Falcons will need to make a playoff push without Steven Jackson
The winner of the Falcons-Panthers matchup Sunday will host a playoff game, with just seven victories on the season.
The problem is the Falcons will be without Steven Jackson the team’s veteran running back.
Jackson’s likely absence will mean more backfield touches for Jacquizz Rodgers and rookie Devonta Freeman.
Freeman has been playing well, but the Dirty Birds will need a huge push from Freeman to get the win.
