The Atlanta Falcons entered halftime of their Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tied at 10.

The Atlanta Falcons began this season with a bang. They won their first two games and looked like they could be the team to capitalize on a weak NFC South division. But they’ve gone 1-3 in their last four games since that 2-0 start, and a reason why is quarterback Desmond Ridder. Ridder’s play has […]

The NFL is known for its unpredictability, where one week’s glory can quickly become the next week’s disappointment.

Initial belief is injury […]

Quarterback Desmond Ridder threw for over 300 yards for the second straight week.
