The Falcons sit in the driver’s seat of the NFC South thanks to their 31-26 victory over the Bucs on Sunday behind another gem of a performance from Kirk Cousins, who just turned in another marvelous Kirktober. It’s spooky season, and Kirk Cousins is scaring defenses, especially Tampa Bay’s. The veteran signal caller completed 23
For the third time this season, the Falcons failed to record a sack. The pass rush is on pace for a historically bad season, and there’s no end in sight. Jimmy Lake, Raheem Morris, and Atlanta’s personnel don’t have the answer to their pass rush woes, but perhaps one can be found ahead of the
I said it before the season, and it rings true today. These 2024 Atlanta Falcons are Matt Ryan’s Falcons. Kirk Cousins was excellent on Sunday. By passer rating standards, it was the best game of his young Falcons career. Cousins finished with a 145.9 passer rating thanks to a 79.3 completion percentage, 276 yards and
The topic of conversation for the Atlanta Falcons is the defense, more specifically, the pass rush or lack thereof. For seemingly the umpteenth time in a row, the club ranks dead last in the NFL in sacks. It’s a tired conversation, and to make it more infuriating, Falcons coaches are doing the same song and
The NFL trade deadline is right around the corner, but there’s already been a flurry of notable trades leading up to the November deadline. Davante Adams reunites with Aaron Rodgers in New York as the Jets and Raiders struck a deal. Another worthwhile pass catcher was also moved. The Bills acquired Amari Cooper from the
The Braves earned a ton of hardware last offseason, with Ronald Acuna Jr. leading the way with MVP honors. That won’t be the case this year, but Braves Country can hang their hats on Chris Sale’s 2024 campaign. The wiley veteran turned in the best season of his career and was the lone bright spot
A couple of old Falcons friends are getting second shots in the NFL. In the wake of Aiden O’Connell’s fractured thumb that landed him on the injured reserve, the Raiders signed Desmond Ridder to backup Gardner Minshew. Ridder was dealt to the Cardinals this past offseason in exchange for Rondale Moore in a rare player-for-player
If there’s one thing the Falcons have done in recent years, it’s find great pass catchers. Andre Rison handed the torch to Terrace Mathis, and then, with the change to a more pass-happy NFL, Atlanta saw the best pass catchers in franchise history come to town at the turn of the century. Michael Jenkins and
The Falcons are preparing for a critical game in Tampa Bay against the Buccaneers for first place in the NFC South, but they’ll be shorthanded. The team announced on Friday that they’ll be without Troy Andersen for the fourth game in a row, sparking questions as to why the club didn’t place him on the injured
The Falcons look like a playoff contender through seven games, sitting at 4-3. There’s a lot to be excited about in Atlanta. Kirk Cousins is coming off a rough performance against the Seahawks, but the entire club, outside of Bijan Robinson, didn’t perform up to expectations. However, for the most part, the offense and all
