Jets vs Falcons: Injury report and starting lineup - October 10 | NFL 2021-22 Season

​

Atlanta Falcons v Minnesota Vikings

NFL fans in London will get to see the New York Jets and the Atlanta Falcons square off in Week 5 for the first game of the 2021 NFL International Series. They were probably hoping for a more exciting game.

Apart from the matchup between Zach Wilson and Matt Ryan, the future and the present, it's difficult to get very excited for this matchup. Both teams are 1-3 and don't have bigger goals to play for this season.

The Jets won their first game of the season in a surprising effort against the Tennessee Titans. As Zach Wilson gets used to the speed of the NFL game, can he lead New York to back-to-back wins now that the pressure's off his shoulders?

Check out the injury report and the starting lineups for the game.
