The Falcons defense has surprised us, but can they hold up against their greatest challenge yet?

@treshon.io looks at the task ahead for our plucky lads as they square off against Josh Allen and the Bills

www.thefalcoholic.com/atlanta-falc...

This week’s biggest question: Can the Falcons defense pass its toughest test yet?

From stopping tight ends to keeping Josh Allen in check, are the Falcons up to the task of stopping Buffalo?

Falcons safety Jessie Bates III leads the league in turnovers generated since he joined the Falcons in 2023.

This summer, I sat down and watched film with Jessie and his coaches to learn how he does it: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Watching game tape with Jessie Bates III: How the Falcons' star safety gains an advantage on opponents

Bates is an elite talent in the Falcons' defense, but his real edge on the field might come from two tablets and five years of detailed notes.

The QB is taking too many hits and was in and out of the blue tent between throwing dimes. The RB is doing backflips on the MetLife turf and seems like he even wants the air to hit him hard. The Giants have simply decided they are gonna walk on the surface of the sun behind them.

When asked by Falcons SI reporter Garrett Chapman about whether Oklahoma State had reached out regarding their head coaching vacancy, Zac Robinson essentially delivered a no-comment.

What that might mean and what the Falcons might do if Robinson does bolt

The Falcons offensive coordinator may be in play for a college head coaching job.

Taysom Hill, now listed as a QB on the roster, could serve as Spencer Rattler’s backup at some point.

Taysom Hill, listed as a QB on the roster, could serve as Spencer Rattler's backup

The Saints are looking for ways to expand Taysom Hill's role as he gets healthier, which prompted a question to Kellen Moore about whether Hill could serve as the No. 2 quarterback.

The most stunning thing about Belichick's career collapsing and his reputation for anyone under 25 being recast as "horny old dude flaming out in six weeks at North Carolina" is that the football team that made the best decision to keep itself clean throughout this saga was the Atlanta Falcons

Per sources: Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina’s hierarchy. Belichick has signaled a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media
