Michael Penix Jr. made his Falcons regular season debut on Sunday against the Seahawks with the game well out of reach. Atlanta ended up losing 34-14, and Penix relieved Kirk Cousins with 3:29 left to play. In seven snaps, the 8th overall pick handed the ball off six times but did complete his only pass
The NFL trade deadline is right around the corner, and the Falcons are expected to be in the market for a pass rusher. “Yes,” Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated responded to a question that the Falcons are indeed in the trade market for a pass rusher. “They like what they’ve gotten in Matthew Judon.

The Braves offseason is sure to feature some fireworks. The question is whether it will be a lot or just a few. Max Fried’s free agency will dominate the offseason. The overwhelming expectation is that he’s thrown his last pitch in an Atlanta uniform, but he’s hardly the only story. Will the Braves try to
The Falcons have a clear need ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Atlanta ranks dead last in the league with six sacks, and their pressure numbers aren’t much better.

The Falcons only recorded one sack against the Seahawks. Too often, Geno Smith escaped pressure, and Atlanta’s pass rush disappeared for long periods of the game. It’s inexcusable against the worst offensive line in football, especially with their fourth-string tackle. However, it could be seen as a good thing. There’s a zero percent chance that
Braves fans have had plenty of fuel to hate-watch the MLB playoffs following their exit in the Wild Card round. The Phillies and Mets were easy to root against as both rivalries have grown in recent seasons. Philadelphia and New York losing doesn’t make it any easier, though, because the World Series features two clubs
Who’s to blame for the Falcons’ embarrassing loss to the Seahawks? Maybe it’s on us fans who actually had some faith in the Atlanta football team.
