The right side of the O-line has been especially stable, as G Chris Chester and T Ryan Schraeder have meshed well and played consistent football. Unsurprisingly, they've both compiled positive Pro Football Focus marks. Schraeder's pass block grade (4.5) currently ranks first in the NFL among qualifying right tackles.

Despite the learning curve that comes with joining a new club in September, LG Andy Levitre has excelled in pass protection, as well. Though he's still adjusting to his new surroundings, the former Titan made noticeable improvements against New York and, given his experience in an outside-zone scheme, should continue to get better.

At center, lifelong guard Mike Person has made a relatively smooth transition to his new role. He's responsible for just two QB hurries so far in 2015 and appeared to be helpful in the run game versus the Giants. The Falcons took a risk by shifting him to C, but so far, it's looked like a wise decision.

And at the most important spot, Jake Matthews (now recovered from a sore back) has been about as solid one could hope after an injury-plagued rookie season. How good has he been? Presently, only six left tackles have higher cumulative PFF grades than he does.
