Incredible job by Darnold to get that much velocity while rolling to his left and then drifting to buy time. His hip rotation was so good

11.01.2026 04:05 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Kyle Pitts was impressive again today with 57 yards and a TD, and a lot of his work came over the middle. When Atlanta's passing game is most dangerous, they are hitting plays over the middle.
Per Next Gen Stats, all seven of his receptions came between the numbers.
According to Next Gen Stats, Bijan Robinson had 112 yards after the catch against the Arizona Cardinals today, which ranks as the fourth-most by any receiver this season and the second-most of his career.

They have 22 sacks in their last four games!
We've seen the Falcons' defense look sharp in the first half before faltering in the 4th quarter, and it's cost them wins.
Time on field has played a big role in that and could again today.
Falcons ran 3 plays in the 3rd quarter, tied for their fewest in a quarter since 1991.
Dylan Drummond was absolutely nails on that last play. His awareness to get up and get the ball back to the ref was excellent.

Here's the full injury report from Friday. atlfal.co.nz/4qLZ6Yv
Bijan Robinson's 822 yards from scrimmage lead the NFL through the first 6 weeks, and he's only played 5 games.
In the 21st Century, only Christian McCaffrey in 2019 had more scrimmage yards (866) in his first 5 games of a season.
McCaffrey finished with 2,392 yards that year.
Cart came out for 49ers LB Fred Warner. Hate to see this for one of the leagueβs best players, and itβs notable for next weekβs game between Atlanta and San Fran.
12.10.2025 20:53 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The more I sit with it, the more I think Michael Penix Jr.'s performance Sunday vs. Washington was special. Ceiling is so high. Final piece is consistency.
This play in particular could be a sign of things to come for MPJ and Kyle Pitts. A lot of trust here & a great win by KP.

Very excited to share our editorial team's project from the last several weeks. Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich has built a philosophy that he believes makes a great defense.

Canβt wait to watch him and Alcaraz battle it out for a long long time.
Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot built a reputation on finding undervalued players in free agency, especially at the linebacker position.
After a breakout year from Kaden Elliss, the Falcons like what they've got next to him in Divine Deablo. atlfal.co.nz/3SNXmyb
Michael Vick sat down with me on a podcast last week, and we got into a lot of great stuff. While he had a lot of thoughts about the offense, I thought this bit about facing a pass rush was interesting.
