The Atlanta Falcons are just bad. There’s no other way to say it after their Week 15 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

For most folks, Week 15 signals the start of the fantasy football playoffs. While teams across the NFL are fighting for playoff positioning, fantasy football owners likely already know their postseason status with Week 15 upon us.

With a chance to move themselves ahead in the race for first in an inconsistent NFC South, the Atlanta Falcons faltered yet again, losing 29-25 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, relinquishing the No. 1 spot to their rivals. Not that the Falcons have been a poster child for consistency themselves this season, but […]

As the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare to face each other for the second time this season, it’s worth re-visiting their first matchup of the year.

The Atlanta Falcons return home on Sunday to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Week 14 showdown with first place on the line in the NFC South.

Head coach Arthur Smith and the Atlanta Falcons have had a bit of an up-and-down go of it in the 2023-24 NFL season so far. The Falcons currently sit at 5-6 and first place in the not-so-vaunted NFC South after a home win over their rivals, the New Orleans Saints, but Smith has faced heavy […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has had an interesting season so far. The Falcons rookie has put up decent numbers, averaging 5 yards per carry, but has only gotten 103 carries on the season. Head coach Arthur Smith has seemingly refused to give him the ball in red-zone opportunities, much to the chagrin of […]

The Atlanta Falcons’ Week 10 game will have them traveling all the way out to the desert to face the Arizona Cardinals. The Falcons will be hoping to end a two-game losing skid, while the Cardinals will be trying to end one of six, only winning one game overall this season back in Week 3. […]

Arthur Smith has a lot to figure out in the Atlanta Falcons system. They are still alive and kicking for playoff contention with four wins and five losses.

The Atlanta Falcons lost a shocker in Week 9 to Joshua Dobbs and the Minnesota Vikings. One of the big talking points after the game was Falcons coach Arthur Smith and his usage (or lack thereof) of rookie running back Bijan Robinson. When asked about barely using the No. 8 overall pick, Smith didn’t really […]

The Atlanta Falcons’ Week 8 matchup will have them traveling to Nashville, TN to face off against the Tennessee Titans. The Falcons are coming off a victory over what was then the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers, until Atlanta took that from them. They now have a winning record at 4-3, leaders of the division, […]

One of the surprises of the Atlanta Falcons’ win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past weekend was the absence of running back Bijan Robinson.

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Bijan Robinson was active for Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but barely played, due to what head coach Arthur Smith called a bad headache. But Smith’s failure to inform the NFL and the masses about Robinson’s illness until after the game started has many asking questions. In fact, […]

Compared to most weeks this season, NFL’s Week 7 festivities featured less injury announcements than before.

Regardless, there’s still a couple of notable players that exited their games this week due […]

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

The Atlanta Falcons were hoping to make it 3-0 after facing the Detroit Lions. That didn’t happen.

Atlanta seemingly had all the momentum coming into this game, given that […]

The Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions will square off on Sunday in Week 3. The Falcons-Lions clash isn’t the most exciting game on the schedule, but it is set to feature rare running back history.

The Atlanta Falcons Week 2 game against the Green Bay Packers have both teams coming off victories. Now, one will have to take their first loss of the young 2023 season. Being only the second week of the season, we still don’t know exactly who or what these teams are quite yet. Both are coming […]

When the Atlanta Falcons selected Bijan Robinson with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, making him the highest-selected running back in five years, they were obviously hoping the Doak Walker Award winner could come in and make an impact immediately.
