    Zachariah Branch is all-in on Falcons offense with Michael Penix Jr. at QB (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Atlanta Falcons appeared to stumble upon a solid quarterback plan for the 2026 season when Michael Penix Jr. led the team to a Week 3 win against the Green Bay Packers, and rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch sees better days ahead for this offense as a unit. In an exclusive interview with FanSided on behalf of Oral-B and Crest, Branch, who said he was thrilled to remain in the state of Georgia and stay close to his family, sounded as optimistic as anyone when discussing Penix. To hear Bra

    Cooper Rush has single-handedly ruined it for some of his fellow veteran QBs (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Not only has Atlanta Falcons quarterback Cooper Rush been the unquestioned worst starter in the league at his position through the first two games of the 2026 season (both losses), but he's been so bad that he might serve as a roadblock for other veteran quarterbacks in his situation finding work. Rush, who was benched in Week 2 for UDFA Jack Strand, has thrown one touchdown against four interceptions and has yet to lead Atlanta to the red zone. The former undrafted Central Michigan standout has

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Atlanta Falcons performed about as well as a team starting Cooper Rush should, as they found themselves unable to prevail against a Pittsburgh Steelers team that didn't exactly cover themselves in glory. Week 1's 20-13 loss, which was highlighted by two Rush interceptions, missed kicks by Nick Folk, and a general inability to take advantage of Pittsburgh's mistakes. This is a tough loss for Kevin Stefanski in his first game as Falcons head coach, but it was softened by the fact that his riva

    Bijan Robinson details Tua Tagovailoa's X-factor that will make Falcons offense click (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Many Atlanta Falcons fans aren't thrilled with the notion of former Miami Dolphins signal caller Tua Tagovailoa emerging as the team's starting quarterback in Week 1, but running back Bijan Robinson thinks the former top pick has something up his sleeve that can supercharge this offense. In an exclusive interview with FanSided on behalf of Colgate, Robinson said that Tagovailoa's experience in the NFL and his past history with one of the game's most brilliant offensive minds in Mike McDaniel is

    5 trades Falcons can make before preseason starts after Jalon Walker injury (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Atlanta Falcons may need to make an emergency trade to fix their defense, as the season-ending torn ACL suffered by second-year stud Jalon Walker has the potential to be catastrophic. On top of the fact that Matt Ryan now has to work around the Walker injury, he may be staring down the barrel of a roster that doesn't have great wide receiver depth and could add one more playmaker in the secondary. These five players may be unlikely trade candidates before the season starts, but given the cur
