Latest news and updates about the Falcons
The Falcons have won two games in a row against a freefalling Buccaneers team and lousy Cardinals squad, but their last great challenge of the 2025 season is ahead. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the best teams in football, quarterbacked by a still-excellent Matthew Stafford, who is throwing the ball to all-world receiver […]

The last time the Falcons were considered to have a respectable pass rush was in 2017. They finished 13th in the league in sacks with 39.

Right before the deeply embarrassing season finale in 2023, where the Falcons were blown out by the New Orleans Saints to seal up a third consecutive 7-10 season, I wrote that Arthur Blank should have already known Arthur Smith’s fate. To me, that meant that if Blank was going to keep Smith based on a […]

If you were so inclined, you could find plenty to complain about in this game. The Falcons allowed a couple of big, explosive passing plays and were downright lackluster against the run. The offense messed up some key third and fourth downs and turned the ball over once. Special teams was mildly shaky. And so […]

While casually eviscerating the Arizona Cardinals defense in Week 16, Bijan Robinson made a little franchise history. The gifted running back exceeded 2,000 scrimmage yards on the season, becoming just the third Falcon to do so. He joins franchise record holder William Andrews, who did it twice and has the team’s single season record with […]

The Arizona Cardinals should be leading. Or maybe trailing. Whatever it should be, the reality is they are tied with the Atlanta Falcons after the first half and the game is unfolding like Jess and I expected. This had all the earmarks of a shootout, the question would be could the Cardinals offense keep pace […]

The Arizona Cardinals are bad. They are actually bordering on awful at this point, and now they have to try and stop another valley running back product, this one who is going to be an All Pro in Bijan Robinson. This should be… interesting. Jess and I are both hopeful that we see a more […]

With three games to go, the Falcons are washing their hands of the man who was supposed to help fix a moribund return game in 2025. Jamal Agnew did not provide that kind of help, and after costly miscues and a lot of forgettable returns, the team announced Saturday that they’ve cut him. Veteran cornerback […]
