Atlanta Falcons vs. Miami Dolphins time, TV channel, streaming, odds
At 3-3, the Atlanta Falcons can either get to winning and potentially overtake a Buccaneers team finally showing some cracks, or they can keep stumbling and deliver an all-too-familiar season. I’d really like it if they did the former, personally. That can start on Sunday afternoon against the woeful Dolphins, who come to town to […]

What to know about Falcons – Dolphins in Week 8
After enduring a tough early season schedule that saw them lose to the Panthers, Buccaneers, and 49ers while beating the Vikings, Commanders, and Bills, the Falcons get a brief reprieve before facing off against resurgent Patriots and Colts teams. That comes in the form of the woeful Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are terrible, as their […]
Falcons can’t depend on fast starts to win games all the time
Six games are usually a solid barometer for gauging trends for an NFL team. There is one glaring one when watching the Falcons this season. When they start strong and have control of the game, they earn their victory definitively. That has come against three previous playoff teams last season in beating Minnesota, Washington, and […]

Atlanta Falcons injury updates: OT Storm Norton designated to return from IR
Several people have asked me about Storm Norton over the past couple of weeks, and we finally have an answer. The Falcons announced Wednesday that they would officially designate Norton to return from IR. Designating Norton to return opened up his 21-day practice window. The injury report for Wednesday was released shortly after I hit […]
Jeff Ulbrich says Falcons will use committee to replace Divine Deablo
It takes a village to replace Divine Deablo, apparently. Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich made that clear on Wednesday in remarks to media, when he said a mix of linebackers and defensive backs will be deployed to fill his role. Part of that is owing to Deablo, a converted safety, having a mix of linebacker […]
Atlanta Falcons NFC South standings, Week 8: Buccaneers still top division
A week after I asked whether the NFC South is good, everyone outside the Panthers lost — troubling. The Buccaneers ran out of magic, and the Falcons continue to yo-yo, while the Saints continue on their downward trajectory. Here’s the Week 7 NFC South Review: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) Week 7 Result: Buccaneers 9 – […]

Atlanta Falcons vs. San Francisco 49ers winners and losers from NFL Week 7
The Atlanta Falcons disappointed in primetime, but we still saw performances that give us hope the team can get back on track. We also saw some that will keep them off the track if they can’t adjust in time. Here’s the Week 7 3 up and 3 down. 3 up Jake Matthews 184 consecutive starts […]
Week 7 3 up and 3 down: Awareness is at an all-time low
The Atlanta Falcons disapointed in primetime, but we still saw performances that give us hope the team can get back on track. We also saw some that will keep them off the track if they can’t adjust in time. Here’s the Week 7 3 up and 3 down. 3 up Jake Matthews 184 consecutive starts […]
Falcons – Dolphins Week 8 2025 Game Coverage
That loss to the 49ers was a tough one, but as many sober-minded observers have pointed out, the Falcons being at 3-3 with their early season schedule is hardly a disaster. Now they have to win a bunch of games they’re supposed to win to make that start mean anything. That begins with the Miami […]
Falcons release Ray-Ray McCloud
The Atlanta Falcons have cut Ray-Ray McCloud, per the team. This concludes a brief and deeply confusing saga that saw McCloud go from a 2024 career year to light involvement in the offense early in 2025 to not suiting up for the team the past two weeks. Now he’ll be looking for a new home. […]
Divine Deablo likely to miss time with forearm fracture, Michael Penix ‘day-to-day’
Divine Deablo’s absence was keenly felt on Sunday night, as the defense struggled to stop the run and keep Christian McCaffrey under control through the air. McCaffrey’s monster game wasn’t all on JD Bertrand—not even close—but it seems fair to suggest he wouldn’t have taken over to that degree if not for Deablo exiting early […]
The Falcons have a coaching problem, Week 7 film review: Tuesday Takes with Tre’Shon
The Falcons lost a winnable game to the 49ers in Week 7, and coaching issues were at the forefront of the defeat.

Falcons – 49ers recap: Unprepared, unsteady, unvictorious
The Atlanta Falcons like things to go smoothly, but when they don’t, they often struggle to look like a competent NFL team. Faced with a well-coached 49ers team that was intent on taking away the run, rattling Michael Penix Jr., and running the ball down Atlanta’s throats, the Falcons appeared to be daydreaming about a […]
Falcons Highlight Reel vs. 49ers
Kaden Elliss INT gives much-needed spark vs. 49ers As the San Francisco 49ers came out after Atlanta’s field goal and NBC broadcaster Mike Tirico informed the NFL world that Divine Deablo had left the game, my heart sank. Immediately, Kyle Shanahan started running plays and throwing routes directly where fill-in second-year linebacker JD Bertrand was. […]

Falcons – 49ers instant recap: A failure to do what needed to be done
The Atlanta Falcons knew they’d have to stop Christian McCaffrey, and they knew they’d need to attack a vulnerable San Francisco linebacker corps and secondary. While there were moments, and even long stretches where the defense held up despite the loss of Divine Deablo, they didn’t do any of that on a consistent basis. They […]

It’s nearly time. Pour yourself a coffee or a libation and settle in for a late night watching the Atlanta Falcons take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. Despite all the injuries on both sides—especially the 49er side—this ought to be a terrific game. The hope is that Atlanta will walk out […]
Intriguing players to watch in Falcons vs. 49ers
The Atlanta Falcons face another primetime challenge when they travel to face the San Francisco 49ers for Sunday Night Football. The last time the Falcons were on the road in primetime, they came away with an impressive win over the Minnesota Vikings back in Week 2. Can they repeat that success? If so, it’ll require […]
Becoming a Road Warrior: the next stage in Michael Penix’s development
The development of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix is central to the team’s success in 2025. Yet, it’s still very early in his career, having made just eight career starts, with only three coming in away games. Despite that small sample size, his performance in road games thus far remains very much a work in […]
