Atlanta Falcons

Two games into the Michael Penix Jr. era, it's clear the Atlanta Falcons are in good hands at quarterback. Trouble is, there might not be enough time to salvage a trip to the playoffs.

Michael Penix Jr. won his debut as Atlanta's starting quarterback, thanks largely to a defense that returned a pair of interceptions for touchdowns, and the Falcons bolstered their playoff hopes by handing the hapless New York Giants their franchise-record 10th straight loss, 34-7 on Sunday.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Rahim Morris announced on Tuesday that he has named Michael Penix Jr. the starting quarterback moving forward.

Atlanta is a contender in the weak NFC South despite another shaky performance from quarterback Kirk Cousins that led the Falcons to become a run-first team.

Kirk Cousins threw his first touchdown pass in five weeks and the Atlanta Falcons did just enough Monday night to beat the struggling Las Vegas Raiders 15-9 and keep pace in the NFC South race.

The Atlanta Falcons face the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night looking to snap a 4-game losing streak.

Six division matchups and Kirk Cousins’ return with the Atlanta Falcons to Minnesota highlight a lighter Week 14 schedule.

Geno Smith passed for two touchdowns and Derick Hall returned a fumble 36 yards for a clinching score as the Seattle Seahawks snapped a three-game losing streak with a 34-14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Kirk Cousins sure earned all that money Thursday night.

As soon as the flag flew for pass interference, Younghoe Koo knew he would have a chance to win it for the Atlanta Falcons.
