The Falcons shocked the entire world on Monday Night Football when Kirk Cousins drove 70 yards with no timeouts in about a minute to score the go-ahead touchdown, eventually leading to an upset win over the Eagles. Atlanta came into the evening as near-touchdown underdogs, and everyone expected them to lose. After all, it was
The NL Cy Young race is all but wrapped up as Chris Sale turned in another impressive outing against the Reds yesterday, even when he didn’t have his best stuff, allowing just two runs over five innings. It resulted in his league-leading 18th win, and it was also his 18th straight start in which he’s
The Falcons shocked the entire NFL world when they drafted Michael Penix Jr. after giving Kirk Cousins $180 million in free agency less than two months prior. That kind of decision will bring about scrutiny, and it did immediately. In the middle of the offseason, there wasn’t much to talk about other than the Cousins-Penix
Up until the Falcons‘ eventual game-winning drive on Monday Night Football, Kirk Cousins had been pedestrian, at best. Outside of the touchdown pass to Darnell Mooney at the end of the third quarter, the Falcons signal caller looked much more like the Week 1 version of himself than the 2023 one. He was skittish in
After losing three straight, Wednesday’s game against the Reds became a must-win if the Braves wanted to keep their playoff hopes alive, and as he’s done so many times before this season, Spencer Schwellenbach was Atlanta’s stopper. The rookie allowed five hits and one run in 6.0 innings, walking two and striking out five, throwing
The Falcons will be playing in front of America for the second straight week. Coming off an improbable victory over the Eagles on Monday Night Football, the Dirty Birds will travel back to Atlanta to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. It’ll be a much different challenge from Philadelphia, in
Braves Country has had very few things to cheer about this year, the season from hell. Their two best players — Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spencer Strider — went down early with season-ending injuries, and over the course of the next few months, another half dozen All-Stars hit the IL. I’ve never quite seen a
Arthur Blank is inducting himself into the Falcons Ring of Honor this weekend during the club’s Sunday Night Football contest against the Chiefs. He’s undoubtedly been the best owner in the franchise’s history and has probably done more for Atlanta than just about anyone in the city’s history, outside of a couple of obviously notable
The Braves may not make the postseason. Losers of three straight, Atlanta is now 2.0 games behind the Mets for the final Wild Card spot, and if their recent play is any indication, they won’t have a shot when New York comes to town for a three-game set next week. If they do, in fact,
Coming into Monday Night Football, nobody gave the Falcons a chance to win. Everyone expected the Eagles to come out victorious in their home opener, including all of Philadelphia. The organization honored Nick Foles’ retirement and Jason Kelce’s return back to Lincoln Financial Field on MNF, a homecoming of sorts for all parties. It was
