Love these @DjShockley3 breakdowns every week. Falcons should post some of these in video form here - they’d do numbers! Some nice anticipation shown by Cousins on Sunday.

The Athletic’s playoff simulator is a nice tool. In it, you can see a teams playoff chances not just as things stand, but week-by-week if they were to win/lose certain games. The Falcons currently sit with only a 1% chance at the playoffs, and even if they win out, a 76% chance.

Falcons corner Billy Bowman Jr. suffered a torn Achilles last week in practice, per sources. HC Raheem Morris said Friday the injury was ‘not good’ and the team placed him on IR. The fourth-round rookie had made an immediate impact.

The Falcons ended their 5-game losing streak with a 24-10 victory over rival New Orleans Saints, a game @JoePatrick called an imperfect win. The offense looked completely different, and the defense was even better, and thrived in tough situations.

The #Falcons used 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TE) on 33 of 55 offensive plays (60.0%), the highest rate of any NFL offense in a single game since 2016. Atlanta gained 183 yards and scored 2 TDs from 13 personnel, the 3rd-most such yards in that same span. Via @NextGenStats

The Falcons and Hawks both go in to New Orleans and win on the same weekend. Happy for the Atlanta fans who made the trip (and it sounds like there were many of them)

If you’ve been trying to make sense of AI-driven risks or shifting regulatory demands, this session might help. Trevin Edgeworth (@tetrisguy)’s unpacking how Red Teaming supports clearer, evidence-based decision-making.

Massive sack by James Pearce Jr. to force New Orleans to punt while trailing by two TDs. A field goal drive seals the result here.

The under center play action game has never felt so good. Why we haven’t seen this offensive scheme with Penix is separate question, but it’s clearly more effective football.

Tied for the Falcons' fewest plays in a quarter since 1991.
The Falcons absolutely, positively cannot have a short possession here. New Orleans has had the ball for 30 plays and 15:52 possession time since halftime. The Falcons have had just 3 plays for 1:55.

The Falcons ran three offensive plays in the 3rd quarter. No matter how this Saints drive ends, it’s a critical upcoming drive for the offense, which has to give this unit a breather.

Good lord that was an incredible TFL by Divine Deablo. Man among boys stuff.

Jeff Ulbrich said Ronnie Harrison Jr. has earned snaps on this defense even with Divine Deablo’s return. Harrison rewards him there with a batted pass to turn the Saints over on downs.

That was an odd first half, but I’m strangely feeling…. optimistic about how this Falcons offense could function the final 7 games. Add Drake London to this diversity of looks and calls and you might have a stew going. Surely this tweet won’t burn me

Nice operation by Cousins and Falcons offense to get into FG range to end the half.
