Falcons waste another Bijan masterclass in a loss
The Atlanta Falcons continue to disappoint their fans and waste stellar individual performances. It’s been a recurring theme of the season and one fans are sick of. Here’s the Week 13, 3 up and 3 down: 3 up James Pearce Jr. The Falcons won’t have their 2026 first-round pick, but James Pearce Jr. is making […]
Falcons snap counts against the Jets
Rather than focus on how snaps counts have been divvied up, which is pretty standard at this point in the season, I’d rather focus on some personnel issues that cropped up in this game in part because of who was playing and why. Offense Kirk Cousins: 69 Jake Matthews: 69 Matthew Bergeron: 69 Ryan Neuzil: […]
Falcons – Jets recap: Dismal in the drizzle
The gloom was pervasive, and it wasn’t just the weather. This Atlanta Falcons team had everything to play for—a small chance to climb the ladder in the NFC South, pride, their coaching staff, one another, and even not handing a top ten pick to the Rams in 2026—and they simply weren’t good enough to beat […]
Atlanta Falcons highlights vs. Jets, feat. Bijan Robinson, David Sills
This is a low point for the Falcons. Losing to this New York Jets team that just went on a fire sale feels like the final straw for the Terry Fontenot-Raheem Morris era. If it is, then they picked the perfect note to leave on. There is no better encapsulation of why the Falcons need […]
Falcons back to their losing ways against the Jets in Week 13 snap reactions
The Atlanta Falcons fall to the New York Jets on a late field goal and are 2-6 since the Bye Week—4-8 on the season. It was a sloppy game in the New Jersey rain, and the Falcons couldn’t overcome their mistakes, a theme of the Raheem Morris era. Here are the Week 13 snap reactions. […]
Falcons 24 – Jets 27 instant recap: Saving a rough loss for a rainy day
The Atlanta Falcons weren’t going to get a much two game stretch than the one against the Saints and Jets, and it represented their last, best hope to claw their way back into the NFC South. Instead, they did what they’ve done so many times in recent years with such aplomb and found a way […]
Falcons vs Jets Week 13 postgame show: Let the firings commence
The Falcons played an embarrassing game against the Jets, losing 27-24 on the back of a horrid day by all three phases. Kevin Knight and Allen Strk break down the official end of the 2025 season, the horrid play of the special teams unit, uncharacteristically bad play by the defense, and a frustrating day from […]
Atlanta Falcons vs. New York Jets game discussion
Hail, traveler! It’s nearly time for Falcons football again. This time out, it’ll be a Falcons – Jets game, a series where the Falcons and Jets have managed to score over 28 points just once, when New York did it in 2013. These games tend to be close, they tend to be unspeakably ugly, and […]
Intriguing players to watch in Falcons vs. Jets
Even though Thanksgiving has passed, there are many things we are thankful for. The Atlanta Falcons beat the hated New Orleans Saints last week, and hopefully can make it two in a row with another win over the New York Jets in Week 13.

What if the Falcons win/lose against the New York Jets in 2025
Well, no matter what happens the rest of the season, at least the Falcons won’t be getting swept by the Saints. In a season of catastrophe, that would have been the final stake into the proverbial heart of this franchise, in 2025. Coming off of the rivalry win in New Orleans, the Falcons are still […]

Falcons vs. Jets: A look at the series history going into 2025
The Atlanta Falcons, thanks to their pathetic overall history, have a winning record against just seven of 32 teams in the NFL. The New York Jets are not only one of those seven teams, but they are also the team against whom the Birds have the most statistical success against across the league. Though they […]
Falcons pass rush takes critical step towards sustained success
Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich’s vision for an enhanced pass rush centered on a sustainable four-man rush. He said as much after the team’s dual first-round selections of edge rushers Jalon Walker and James Pearce in this past year’s draft: “The best defenses are the ones where they have four down, five down, they […]
What impact could an end of the season run have on the Falcons future?
The odds of making the playoffs are slim, but the Atlanta Falcons could still end the season with 7 or 8 wins. Not the goal anyone had at the beginning of the season, but will in-season circumstances sway ownership when Week 18 comes to a close? Coaching Since Michael Penix Jr. went down and Kirk […]

What to know about Falcons – Jets in Week 13
The Atlanta Falcons finally beat a team they were supposed to. Their three previous wins this year had come against Vikings and Bills teams expected to be far better than they actually are and the Commanders before they came apart completely, while their losses came to the Panthers (twice!) and hapless Dolphins, as well as […]
Atlanta Falcons NFL Power Rankings 2025: Kirko Chainz returns in the nick of time?
Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season was everything we love about football wrapped into one weekend. Jameis Winston and the New York Giants, despite the loss, were arguably the most fun watch of the slate.

Five Falcons things to be thankful for
Lost seasons are always difficult to digest, especially when your team is approaching nearly a decade of not making the playoffs. A franchise that has been aggressive in acquiring talent can’t possibly be looking toward 2026 before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, that’s where the Falcons stand at a time of uncertainty across the organization. A feel-good win […]
Falcons – Jets Week 13 2025 Game Coverage
After a much-needed hate week victory, the Falcons look slightly less hapless.

You have to win the easy games to even entertain that thought, though. That means beating the Saints, […]
