Falcons' Jack Crawford: Production fades in 2019
Crawford collected 24 tackles, three pass deflections, four QB hits and half a sack across 16 appearances for the Falcons during 2019.
2018 was a breakout campaign for the London-born defensive tackle, with Crawford racking up career highs in tackles (35), QB hits (nine) and sacks (six). Involvement this season diminished, as he logged only four starts after picking up 11 during 2018, and played 50-plus percent of the Falcons' defensive snaps just four times after fielding 60-plus percent of the snaps 11 times last year. Following three seasons as a member of the team, the 31-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent once his contract expires in March.

Falcons' Jack Crawford: DNP due to injury
Crawford (thigh) sat out Wednesday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
After Crawford collected a career-best six sacks and 35 tackles in 2018, the arrow was pointing up on his career, and the team entered 2019 with optimism about his ability to contribute to a stingy defensive operation. The season so far has not gone according to plan, however, as Crawford remains without a sack heading into Week 16. He has been a steady contributor throughout the season by fielding at least 20 percent of the defensive snaps in every contest, but Crawford has now gone eight games without recording a start, after starting four times between Weeks 1 and 6. If able to fully recover from his injury in short order, Crawford could see an uptick in involvement over the final two weeks with Takkarist McKinley (shoulder) now on injured reserve.

Falcons' Jack Crawford: Draws praise from coach
Coach Dan Quinn said that Crawford is an important piece to what the Falcons have defensively and noted the team expects to see the 30-year-old become even more involved in 2019, Kelsey Conway of the team's official site reports.
Crawford was somewhat of an unsung bright spot for the Falcons in 2019, tying a career high with 11 starts and obliterating previous personal bests in both sacks (six) and combined tackles (35). Past injury woes -- including a torn biceps that cost him 12 games in 2017 -- are obstacles to predicting Crawford's statistical output for the upcoming season. If healthy, Crawford will vie for a starting role at defensive tackle and could play more than half of the Falcons' snaps.

Falcons' Jack Crawford: Comes back strong from 2017 injury
Crawford played all 16 games for Atlanta this season, tying a career high with 11 starts, en route to establishing new personal bests in tackles (35), quarterback hits (nine) and sacks (six).
Crawford rebounded impressively from a torn bicep that cost him 12 games in 2017, establishing himself as a stalwart along the Falcons defensive line and producing like one of the premier players at his position. There were only 11 defensive tackles who compiled more sacks than Crawford did this season, and most of those players are considered to be of Pro-Bowl caliber. Aaron Donald, Fletcher Cox, Geno Atkins and Akiem Hicks are among the select list of defensive tackles who eclipsed Crawford's sack tally this year. The 30-year-old remains on Atlanta's payroll for 2019, as he and second-year man Deadrin Senat strive to help the Falcons improve upon a 25th-place finish in rush defense.

Crawford had three assisted tackles, an interception and a half-sack in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Falcons' Jack Crawford: Tackle for loss against Packers
Crawford recorded three total tackles, including one tackle for loss during Sunday's 34-20 loss to Green Bay.
With another solid showing in Week 14, the veteran defensive lineman now has 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack over Atlanta's past three games. Against the Packers, Crawford stuffed Jamaal Williams for a loss of two yards on his second carry of the afternoon, and later helped contain the explosive Aaron Jones to a one-yard gain on an early third-quarter run. Crawford may be afforded limited opportunities defending the run Sunday against an Arizona offense that's called 291 running plays this season (seventh-fewest). He will, however, carry a fair probability of recording a sack, facing a Cardinals line that's allowed 84 QB hits in 2018 (10th-most).

Falcons' Jack Crawford: Preparing to face former team
Crawford will be taking on his former team when the Falcons host the Cowboys on Sunday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The 290-pound defensive tackle is in the midst of a stellar season, already having tied career-highs in sacks (four) and quarterback hits (six) with nearly half of the regular-season slate remaining. The Falcons were held without a sack in Week 10, but the outing prior Crawford claimed two of Atlanta's three sacks against Washington. Now comes a matchup with "America's Team." Crawford has spent more time in Dallas than any other city during his seven-year career, with 38 of 70 appearances and 12 of 16 starts coming in a Cowboys uniform. Sunday he'll have a chance to feast against his former team, facing an offensive line that's allowed the third-most sacks in 2018.

Falcons' Jack Crawford: Two sacks of Alex Smith in win
Crawford collected two sacks and three total tackles during Sunday's 38-14 victory against the Redskins.
The London-born mammoth has four sacks over his past three outings in wins over the Redskins, Giants and Buccaneers. Coming into Week 6, Crawford had amounted 3.5 sacks over his previous 31 games (dating back to November of 2015). The 30-year-old defensive tackle is fulfilling the Falcons coaching staff's praise, now completely recuperated from a torn bicep that cost him three-quarters of last season. Upcoming Sunday is a matchup against a Cleveland offense that has surrendered an NFL-high 35 sacks in 2018.

Falcons' Jack Crawford: Earning recognition from coach
Crawford, who briefly exited Sunday's game with an apparent head or neck injury, tallied two tackles in a 34-29 win over Tampa Bay.
Head coach Dan Quinn noted Monday that Crawford is continuing to improve with the enhanced playing opportunities he's received as a result of Grady Jarrett's (ankle) inactive status the past two weeks. The veteran defensive tackle will work alongside Deadrin Senat and Terrell McClain to anchor the interior line so long as Jarrett is on the shelf.
