Latest news and updates about the Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons are on an unfortunate hot streak, winning their last two games and three of the past five. That puts the Falcons at 6-9 going into their Week 17 matchup with the L.A. Rams, meaning that the first round pick going west is now 11th overall. If the Rams lose to the Falcons […]
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 […]
The Atlanta Falcons get out of the desert with their first road win against the Arizona Cardinals in over 20 years. Bijan Robinson became the third Falcon in team history to hit the 2,000 scrimmage yard mark. A Falcons win should feel better than it currently does, but the win still feels good. Here are […]
The Atlanta Falcons had never won in the current Arizona Cardinals stadium. They had been struggling on the road off and on all year. None of that mattered today, as the Falcons picked up their second straight win and beat Arizona on a potent Bijan Robinson game and a late CJ Henderson interception. It was […]
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 final homegame of the 2025 NFL season is upon us. That is the good news. The bad news is that the Arizona Cardinals will have two more games after this one, and it could be a mixed bag, as the Bengals look miserable, but the Rams will have to play their starters as they […]

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 […]
Atlanta Falcons rookie cornerback Cobee Bryant had a rough debut last Thursday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he has a prime bounce-back opportunity ahead of him versus the Arizona Cardinals. Should he achieve that, it could have significant ramifications for decision-makers at the top of the Falcons organization. While last week’s win over Tampa […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers This division makes no sense. The Buccaneers needed to bounce back from their embarrassing loss to the Saints in week 15, but instead of getting the job done, they lost again, this time against the Falcons. Tampa Bay’s defense could not stop Kirk Cousins and the entire Falcons offense, and on the […]
The long-term future of Kyle Pitts was bound to gain more attention.
