The second season starts Sunday — a time when records and what happened the previous 16 games don’t matter. That’s the attitude the Falcons have taken all week as they’ve prepared to face the No. 4 Giants at MetLife Stadium. Sunday’s game features two quarterbacks at the top of their respective games in Matt Ryan and Eli Manning, but this first-round game could come down to how well the Falcons and Giants defenses contain each others wide receivers and what the Falcons offensive line can do to keep the Giants out of the backfield.
