The Atlanta Falcons picked up a 15-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football, but the performance of quarterback Kirk Cousins did not take any heat off of him, and head coach Raheem Morris had a blunt reaction to his performance after the game. “He’s got to play better,” Raheem Morris said, […]

The Atlanta Falcons have a shot at making the postseason in 2024. Atlanta got a huge win on Monday Night Football against Las Vegas, narrowly escaping with a 15-9 victory.

The Atlanta Falcons have found themselves mired in a slump, as they have lost four straight games to lose control of the NFC South.

It was supposed to be a much different season for the Atlanta Falcons. Yet, after 13 games, they find themselves in the exact same position as last year: sitting at 6-7 and in the midst of a division battle in the lowly NFC South. The Falcons team that won five of six games and swept […]

The Atlanta Falcons needed to win on Sunday to maintain their spot at the top of the NFC South.

After holding a commanding lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South for much of this season, the Falcons have lost four consecutive games and now trail the Buccaneers by one game. A big part of […]

It goes without saying that the Atlanta Falcons are in desperate need of a win. Equally important, Kirk Cousins is in dire need of a bounce-back performance. Week 14 offers him a unique opportunity to do just that against his former team, the Minnesota Vikings. The Falcons (6-6) are currently riding a three-game losing streak […]

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. […]

The Atlanta Falcons entered Week 13 off a bye, hoping to bounce back from two consecutive losses. However, they faced a Los Angeles Chargers team that also had something to prove after an emotional loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the Harbaugh Bowl. On Sunday, the Chargers found their footing, defeating the Falcons 17-13 and […]

The Atlanta Falcons took a tough loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at home, and some would say that Kirk Cousins was the one to blame for their shortcomings.

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. While the team certainly used their time off in Week 12 to get their bearings, it also sounds like head coach Raheem Morris and company were hard at […]

This year’s Atlanta Falcons team wasn’t supposed to look like the last three under former head coach Arthur Smith.

Under new head […]

The Atlanta Falcons entered Week 11 looking to rebound from a disappointing loss to their division rival, the New Orleans Saints.

The Falcons (6-5) delivered a dismal […]

The Atlanta Falcons couldn’t get out of their own way in an error-filled loss to their NFC South rivals the New Orleans Saints.

Despite the dreadful outing, […]

The Atlanta Falcons saw the NFL debut of rookie quarterback Michael Penix on Sunday afternoon, but it wasn’t under the circumstances they were probably hoping for, as the team was in the midst of getting blown out vs the Seattle Seahawks. Penix didn’t have the chance to do much in his appearance in garbage time, […]

Through the Atlanta Falcons’ first five games, all of them have come down to the wire. Last week, however, may have delivered the most epic ending so far, as Atlanta pulled off an overtime win over division foe Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. In Week 6, the Falcons go on the road to face another […]

A night of promise and hope eventually led to yet another downfall for the Atlanta Falcons, who suffered their second loss of the season to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

The Atlanta Falcons suffered an 18-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, but head coach Raheem Morris is determined to move forward without placing all the blame on any single player.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins had a rough game in the team’s Week 1 18-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, so much so that some are fearing that he might still not be healthy as he is coming off of a torn Achilles, but head coach Raheem Morris shut down that notion, saying his quarterback […]

The Atlanta Falcons started their season off on the wrong foot. Despite revamping their squad, Raheem Morris’ squad just could not find the perfect schemes and rotations.

The preseason is a time for players who may not see the field to show their skills, and the Atlanta Falcons are taking a different approach not playing Michael Penix Jr. The rookie quarterback didn’t play in the preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, and he’s not expected to see the field in their final […]

When it comes to offenses in the NFL, few have a player who is as big a mismatch as Kyle Pitts, the third-year Atlanta Falcons tight end who practically set the athletic standards for the position coming out of Florida in 2021. Standing 6-foot-5, 246 pounds with wide receiver-caliber 4.44 speed and an 83.375-inch wingspan […]

The Atlanta Falcons took former Texas running back Bijan Robinson in the 2023 NFL Draft in hopes of making him a feature back, a tall task for a runner with exceptional talent and speed running behind an offense that has been overmatched for several years running, since QB Matt Ryan officially retired.
