The Falcons’ rookie class has been the least productive in the NFL, with the only member of the 2024 draft class taking snaps being JD Bertrand. However, the 5th-round pick has only appeared in a handful of defensive snaps; most of his action has come on special teams. Granted, Michael Penix Jr. was never going
Before October baseball kicked off, with the Braves in San Diego taking on the Padres and Mets in Milwaukee taking on the Brewers, the two clubs split a doubleheader in Atlanta. Each club needed just one win to punch their ticket. Game 1 delivered. It was the game of the year. With a postseason berth
The Braves fell in excruciating fashion to the Padres in Game 1 of their Wild Card series. It was the typical Atlanta loss. The pitching staff did enough, but the bats didn’t show up to the ballpark. A.J. Smith-Shawver got roughed up in the first and second innings to the tune of three runs; however,
Ahead of tomorrow’s tilt on Thursday Night Football against the Falcons, the Buccaneers ruled out six players, including a few starters, one being All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield.

With their win over the Saints, the Falcons are out to a 1-0 lead in the NFC South, but the Buccaneers own the top spot in the division with their 3-1 record. Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay will travel to Atlanta for a short turnaround on Thursday Night Football, with the winner taking a commanding
The Falcons haven’t had sustained success on the offensive side of the ball at all this season. There’s been far more bad than good, but there’s one player, in particular, that shows up on fans’ TVs every Sunday — Darnell Mooney. The offseason free agent signing was considered an overpay by many, but he is
Nobody expects the Braves to win the World Series. Overcoming the injuries the club has endured for a postseason berth alone is an accomplishment. The Padres are loaded and might be the hottest team in baseball since the All-Star break. Expecting the Braves to take two of three is a tall order; however, The Athletic’s
The Braves have made history with their most recent playoff berth. According to OptaSTATS, no club in MLB history has made the postseason in a year where three of their Opening Day starters missed the final 35+ regular season games while on the injured list — in reference to Spencer Strider, Ronald Acuna Jr., and
