Before the Atlanta Falcons take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 4 on Sunday, here are three players that will need to stand out in the contest.

With Week 4 of the 2019 regular season already here around the NFL this weekend, the Atlanta Falcons are looking to get back on track when they welcome the Tennessee Titans into Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday afternoon.

After falling for the second time this season on the road in Week 3 in a 27-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Atlanta returns back home to take on its second straight AFC opponent in front of its home crowd.

The Falcons have been a tough team to play at home in Mercedes-Benz Stadium over the last few years, and that has continued to be the case once again so far during the 2019 campaign. Atlanta comes into the game with a record of 1-0 at home this season, with its lone win of the year coming in a Week 2 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

But after going 0-2 in two games away from Atlanta through three weeks of the season, the Falcons are trying to climb back to the .500 mark after the four-week mark of the regular season schedule.

Atlanta, which enters the game at 1-2 overall, currently sits tied for second place in the NFC South alongside the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-2) and Carolina Panthers (1-2), while trailing the first-place New Orleans Saints (2-1) atop the division standings.

The Falcons will host a Tennessee squad that is going through a two-game losing streak entering the fourth week of games, most recently falling to the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-7 in a Week 3 contest in Jacksonville.

Entering Week 4, the Titans are 1-2 overall and are sitting tied with the Jaguars (1-2) for third place in the AFC South standings. Tennessee trails the Indianapolis Colts (2-1) and the Houston Texans (2-1), who are tied for first place in the division.
