Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris expects the Dallas Cowboys to enter Sunday's meeting angry after two consecutive losses.
Dallas, meanwhile, has lost its last two games and is at a drama-filled crossroads. The Cowboys have two defeats by at least 25 points and two others by one score.Closely covered and highly scrutinized, the Cowboys will enter Week 9 under immense external pressure to win -- and Falcons head coach"This is a good football team," Morris said in his press conference Monday. "They're going to come in here angry and pissed off, and we better be ready.
Morris, meanwhile, suffered defeats of 22-10 and 43-20 the past two years as the Los Angeles Rams' defensive coordinator. The This season, the two teams have a pair of common opponents, as Atlanta lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 and took down the New Orleans Saints in Week 4, while Dallas lost to New Orleans in Week 2 but beat the Steelers in Week 5.
"On offense, we know those two guys, Dak and CeeDee, and what they've been able to do and how impressive they are," Morris said. "Diggs is on the defense. He's still playing. And Micah, if he comes back and is ready to go, we definitely got to have some attention brought to him and think of some of the things we need to do."
Yet perhaps most importantly, the Falcons need to ensure the Cowboys' prospective anger doesn't turn into a fast, irrecoverable start -- which could prove detrimental to Atlanta's hopes of secure its first non-NFC South home win of the season.Daniel Flick is an accredited NFL writer for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
