Latest news and updates about the Falcons
Season 17, Episode 23 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing a few things that Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said during his Monday press conference. McCarthy was asked quite a few questions about CB Joey Porter Jr.’s status moving […]
The Falcons and Steelers combined for one of the worst offensive showings in NFL history, with all three touchdowns from the game coming as a result of a turnover. On the one hand, there are a lot of positives to discuss surrounding the defense, and even Bijan Robinson continued tearing teams to shreds on the […]
T.J. Watt has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his dominant performance against the Atlanta Falcons. Watt was the no-brainer selection after recording four tackles, three tackles for loss, two sacks, and one interception returned for a touchdown in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 20-13 victory. AFC Players of the Week! (Week 1)@Kenneth_Walker9 […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves in a rock fight with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Steelers entered the fourth quarter clinging to a three-point lead. The defense had done its job, largely containing the Falcons’ offense (which mainly consisted of RB Bijan Robinson). Yet the game was still dangerously close. Enter OLB T.J. Watt. Watt spotted Falcons QB Cooper Rush attempting to find Robinson in the right flat. He turned that supposedly safe pass into the play of the game. HIM 📲 S...
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Falcons fans and fans across the country. While the Falcons fought valiantly in dire circumstances against Pittsburgh, the locker room had to be frustrated to fall short in a winnable game. Cooper Rush […]
This was an interesting week for the NFC South. Every team lost, but aside from the Falcons, the scoring was really good in this division. Tampa Bay Buccaneers For the first loss of the division, the Buccaneers had an up-and-down game. The Bengals’ defense did really well against Tampa Bay, forcing four fumbles, getting three […]
The Atlanta Falcons have made it official, placing Da’Shawn Hand on injured reserve with an ailment that’s expected to knock him out for the rest of the season. The team has promoted tight end Nick Muse to the 53 man roster in a corresponding move and have added defensive end Drake Jackson and running back […]

The Falcons also signed DE Drake Jackson and RB Khalil Herbert to the practice squad. Hand, 30, was selected in the […] The post Falcons Announce Four Moves, Place DL Da’Shawn Hand On IR appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .

The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off the 2026 season with a 20-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, marking their third consecutive Week 1 win, and their sixth opening win over the last seven seasons. The Steelers largely won off the strength of a vintage performance from T.J. Watt. The star edge rusher looked like his old […]
Ben Roethlisberger, one of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ legends, saw some mistakes in DK Metcalf’s game that could have been corrected with more time working during the preseason. The Pittsburgh Steelers came away with a win in their 2026 NFL season opener after defeating the Atlanta Falcons at home, despite some of their key players failing to deliver strong performances. One of them was DK Metcalf , who, according to Ben Roethlisberger , was hurt by the lack of preseason games heading into the...
One of the biggest changes for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 20-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1 was rep management. As a whole, the team’s star defenders played significantly less snaps than they did under Mike Tomlin and the previous regime. T.J. Watt played just 38 of 60 defensive snaps but made a huge impact with two sacks and an interception. Watt praised new outside linebackers coach C.J. Ah You for managing reps for the entire outside linebacker room. “My body feels signific...
The Pittsburgh Steelers got a big win in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, and that’s a good way to start a new era of football for the franchise. With Mike Tomlin stepping away from coaching and Mike McCarthy coming in, the Steelers are still looking to compete at a high level, just like they […] The post Big change from Mike Tomlin era allows fans to see special Aaron Rodgers-Mike McCarthy moment appeared first on ClutchPoints .

While the Pittsburgh Steelers came out of Week 1 with a 20-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, they lost the opportunity for more points on a third-down deep shot to WR DK Metcalf in the third quarter that fell incomplete. Officials missed a clear defensive pass interference penalty against CB AJ Terrell, who pinned Metcalf’s […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers defense started the season strong by holding the Atlanta Falcons to a measly 36% success rate and […]
In my latest attempt to evaluate the impossibly sad Atlanta Falcons QB room, I've decided I can no longer take the Cooper Rush experience.
With Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. unavailable and Cooper Rush battling back spasms, Cam Newton reacts to the online push for Atlanta to call him and explains why he won’t beg for a job. He lays out exactly what a team would have to promise him, and the one question about Cooper Rush he answers without hesitation.
The Atlanta Falcons couldn’t bring home the win in the season opener, but it wasn’t due to the defensive performances we saw. Unfortunately, the offense and special teams unit let the team down, a story many fans are tired of hearing. Here’s the Week 1, 3 up and 3 down: 3 up Sydney Brown Acquiring […]
Ben Roethlisberger was tuned in on his phone for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season-opening win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. […]
Last season, the Buccaneers found themselves in a three-game stretch against teams that were statistically worse than they were. The Cardinals. The Saints. The Falcons. Three Games, One Win That stretch came in late November and early December and was a major part of Tampa Bay’s disastrous 2-7 finish that ultimately kept them out of the playoffs. Now, the Buccaneers get a do-over. Starting Sunday, Tampa Bay faces three consecutive opponents that, on paper, are very beatable: the Cleveland Brow...
Whether with officials or former Steelers, WR DK Metcalf can’t catch a break following his Week 1 performance on Sunday. Though Pittsburgh won 20-13, and he had one late catch that helped them close the game, he struggled against Atlanta. On 10 targets, he managed just 4 receptions for 40 yards. Within that, he had one ugly drop, another play in the end zone that he couldn’t come down with, and a non-catch on the sideline because he failed to keep his feet inbounds after going airborne. One pl...

Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf didn't seem to be on the same page during the Pittsburgh Steelers' 20-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, as the veteran wideout was targeted 10 times but only finished with four receptions for 40 yards.
