The full read on the Falcons
Written Sun Nov 1, before the Buccaneers game.
Season so far
Atlanta is 3-4, with a 1-3 home record and 2-1 on the road. The Falcons have scored 45 points in a road win at New Orleans and 29 in their latest win over San Francisco. They have also lost three home games, including a 3-34 result against Carolina. Since Michael Penix Jr. took over at quarterback, he has thrown nine touchdowns and one interception, and Atlanta is 3-2 in his starts.
The read
Atlanta reaches Tampa Bay at 3-4 after beating San Francisco 29-20. Its home record is 1-3, compared with 2-1 on the road. The season has included road wins at Green Bay and New Orleans, alongside home defeats against Carolina, Baltimore and Chicago.
Michael Penix Jr. has changed the quarterback picture since missing the opening games. Atlanta is 3-2 in his starts, and he has thrown nine touchdown passes against one interception. Against San Francisco, he completed 25 of 34 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. Atlanta also scored 13 points from four takeaways. Bijan Robinson leads the league with 704 rushing yards, while Kyle Pitts has caught four touchdowns over the past three games.
Availability remains unsettled around that core. Brian Robinson Jr. is out with a hamstring injury, and Khalil Herbert has been elevated again. Divine Deablo and Billy Bowman Jr. were also ruled out. Kendal Daniels handled defensive communication in Deablo’s absence against San Francisco. Olamide Zaccheaus, Avieon Terrell, Samson Ebukam and Charles Snowden remain questionable.
Kevin Stefanski leads the staff, with Tommy Rees coordinating the offense and Jeff Ulbrich the defense. A.J. Terrell has returned from injured reserve, while Drake Jackson joined the active roster after Michael Jerrell went on injured reserve. Today’s division visit comes against a 2-5 Tampa Bay team. Baker Mayfield has no game designation, but Emeka Egbuka is out.
