The Baltimore Ravens tested the Chargers’ run defense. The pass defense could be under attack this week.

The Chargers, who gave up a season-high 212 yards to the Ravens last week, face the Atlanta Falcons’ fifth-ranked passing offense on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Atlanta quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​has versatile weapons in receiver Drake London and running back Bijan Robinson. London, who played at USC, is on track to make Falcons history as he is four catches away from becoming the first player in franchise history with at least 65 catches in each of his first three seasons. With 783 yards rushing and 359 yards receiving, Robinson is the only running back to rank in the top 10 in both rushing and receiving among players at his position.

The Chargers defense could be without at least three starters due to injuries. Linebacker Denzel Perryman (groin), safety Alohi Gilman and cornerback Cam Hart (ankle) are out, linebacker Daiyan Henley (calf) is questionable. Henley has a team-leading 99 tackles this season and double-digit stops in five straight games but is expected to play.

With Perryman out for the second straight game, the Chargers will turn to Troy Dye or Nick Niemann, who split reps against the Ravens and finished with three and eight tackles, respectively. Rookie linebacker Junior Colson, who was third in the inside linebacker rotation, is still on injured reserve with an ankle injury.

Despite ranking eighth in total offense, the Falcons (6-5) finished 16th in scoring after a down week, averaging 22.2 points per game after two straight losses. In their last game against the Denver Broncos they only scored six points.
