    This is an absolutely insane stat from Next Gen A.J. Terrell covered Terry McLaurin on 32 of his 34 routes (94.1%), allowing just 1 reception for 5 yards on 7 targets. Terrell pressed McLaurin on 43.8% of his routes with an average target separation of 1.2 yards. He balled out.

    If Roquan Smith didn't apparently have some kind of vendetta against Jake Matthews, he'd have as clear a lane to Desmond Ridder as you're likely to get...

    I just went back and looked at some film, and Matt Ryan played with his right foot forward until the 2015 season - when Kyle Shanahan arrived in Atlanta. From then on, Matt Ryan has had his right foot back.
    This may just be nothing (but it definitely could be something). Justin Fields has his right leg back at the Pro Day, but he played with his left leg back in college.

    The first open-air NFL game in Atlanta since 1991. Wow.

    Just heard the story about Dan Quinn helping Kellen Moore with the head coach interview process, and I continue to be surprised by how highly I think of that man. Falcons fans, he may not have accomplished the ultimate goal, but heโ€™s a great human being and does his best.

    The #Falcons now have an offensive trio that consists of Julio Jones, Matt Ryan and Todd Gurley. Let that sink in for a moment.

    Since 2016 Matt Ryan has more passing yards and completions than any other NFL quarterback. He's also tied with Drew Brees for the second-most touchdown passes in that time with 119. Not sure how anyone could think he's not a franchise QB. #Falcons atlfal.co.nz/3e4MW6Y

    Pretty cool moment here at the Senior Bowl: Jalen Hurts will wear a helmet representing both #Alabama and #Oklahoma during Saturdayโ€™s game.

    Jessie Bates leads the league in combined interceptions and forced fumbles so far this season with eight. He's been one of the best free-agent signings in Falcons history. We're talking Michael Turner, Tony Gonzalez and John Abraham territory.

    The Falcons have something in Desmond Ridder

    Age yourself by naming an NFL tight end you grew up watching. I'll start, Chris Cooley.

    I don't think I've ever seen a turnaround like this before. The Falcons had 10 sacks in 11 games before their Week 12 bye, which ranked last in the NFL. Since Week 13, the Falcons have 21 sacks โ€” the most in the league. They did that with the same guys on the roster.

    No easy way to say this, but I was let go by the Atlanta Falcons yesterday after four years of covering the team. Iโ€™m extremely thankful to the organization and my boss @MatthewTabeek for giving me the opportunity to cover my hometown team. 1/3
