With all the turkey, stuffing, and the Week 13 Thanksgiving slate of games behind us, the NFC playoff picture once again looks a little different. The Atlanta Falcons are now barely hanging onto their NFC South division lead and the No. 4 seed after their loss to the Chargers and the Buccaneers’ overtime win against […]

Finding a starting quarterback in the NFL is probably the hardest job for any franchise to accomplish. It’s hard enough to find one via the draft, much less in free agency. For the Atlanta Falcons, they hedged their bets and are attempting both this season by signing veteran Kirk Cousins and drafting Michael Penix Jr. […]

Despite Kirk Cousins’ hot mess of a Week 13 performance against the Los Angeles Chargers, Atlanta Falcons rookie backup Michael Penix Jr. didn’t have a word of negativity to direct at him, per ESPN’s Marc Raimondi. “He’s a vet,” Penix said of Cousins. “He’s been in a lot of different situations, so I have no […]

After their third straight loss, a bulk of the blame was placed on quarterback Kirk Cousins, who ended the game with four interceptions. Of Cousins’ heap of turnovers, his fourth interception was the […]

The Los Angeles Chargers, already without running back J.K. Dobbins, could be missing wide receiver Ladd McConkey for some time. The rookie came down awkwardly when making a reception against the Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old pass-catcher was questionable to return and did not return to the game because of a knee injury, per the Chargers […]

The Atlanta Falcons enter Week 13 at 6-5, with a one-game lead in the NFC South.

The Atlanta Falcons stumbled into their bye week, as they suffered a pair of upset defeats at the hands of the New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos.

Roster building is not easy in the NFL. General Managers have to hand out pretty pennies to ensure that the best players sign contracts to play for their teams.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins may not have one of his weapons Sunday. And the Falcons hope kicker Younghoe Koo can break out of a slump.

As the Atlanta Falcons prepare to face off against the Denver Broncos in Week 11, quarterback Kirk Cousins could be without one of his top offensive weapons, Darnell Mooney.
