Reports: Falcons have known they were firing head coach and general manager for weeks
Apparently, I needn’t have worried that the Falcons were going to let the last few weeks of the season influence whether they kept Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot. Per NFL insiders Ollie Connolly and Josina Anderson, who in my experience has been pretty accurate in their reporting, Atlanta has “had feelers” out to potential candidates […]
Atlanta Falcons fire head coach Raheem Morris
The Atlanta Falcons hired Raheem Morris believing he could take a roster that had been built in slow and disappointing fashion under Arthur Smith and Terry Fontenot and take it to the next level. It was a gamble on a coach players and fellow coaches love, one who had already had a stint in Atlanta […]
Falcons fire GM Terry Fontenot
The general manager of the Atlanta Falcons for the past five seasons has been canned. Terry Fontenot came in to oversee a rebuild-we-don’t-call-a-rebuild back in 2021 and was tasked with creating a sustainable winner out of the wreckage of the Dan Quinn/Thomas Dimitroff era. Instead, he’ll leave the job having overseen five straight losing seasons, […]
Falcons disappointing season ends with a sweep of the Saints: Week 18 snap Reactions

Falcons – Saints instant recap: Ending the season on a high note
It wasn’t pretty, but Falcons-Saints rarely is. It wasn’t exactly a testament to this team’s strength of roster or coaching, but it wasn’t expected to be. What it ultimately was a win, a 2025 sweep of the Saints, and a second-straight 8-9 season locked up. The Falcons struggled offensively much of the day, which meant […]
James Pearce Jr sets multiple Falcons franchise sack records
James Pearce Jr. made history with his two sacks early in the 3rd quarter, setting a new Atlanta Falcons franchise record for total sacks by the team and the most sacks by a rookie in a single season. The Falcons went from last place in sacks in 2024 to second most in the league this […]
Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints Week 18 game discussion
One last call for Falcohol. The Falcons take on the hated Saints shortly to cap off a frustrating, uneven 2025 season, and have the opportunity to end it on a high note with four straight wins and a 2-0 record against New Orleans. What happens after that is anyone’s guess and will be the subject […]

Atlanta Falcons Power Rankings: Sweet victory and sweeping the Saints
This has been one of the most frustrating Atlanta Falcons seasons in recent memory. Not because the lows were shocking, but because the highs kept pulling you back in.

What to know about Falcons – Saints in the 2025 season finale

The Falcons won a thriller over the Rams on Monday Night Football, and the game actually served as an excellent microcosm of Atlanta’s 2025 season.

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar writes about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons.

Falcons – Saints Week 18 2025 Game Coverage
It’s now three wins in a row for the Falcons, and a chance to finish the season with a very important fourth consecutive one.

What do I do with this? What do I do with this, Atlanta Falcons? Bijan Robinson is one more big game against the New Orleans Saints from potentially challenging Chris Johnson’s scrimmage yard record.

Falcons vs. Saints tailgating: A New Orleans-themed menu for Hate Week
We’ve got one final opponent standing between us and the offseason: The New Orleans Saints in Week 18.

Falcons – Rams recap: Getting it right under the bright lights
The Rams had more yards, nearly twice as many passing yards, and outscored the Falcons 24-6 in the second half. If you skipped the game—in your defense, you were very sleepy—and woke up to that small assortment of facts, you’d assume Los Angeles destroyed Atlanta in primetime. But that’s not what happened, of course. What […]

Falcons – Rams instant recap: A tale of two halves with a happy ending
This team is impossible to figure out, but there are certain truths we know. They’re better in the red helmets, they play contenders tougher than you’d expect, and they never play a full game…but sometimes it’s enough. This was just the latest example of this. The Falcons were up 21-0 at one point in this […]
Bijan Robinson breaks Falcons single season record for scrimmage yards
In the midst of a great season, Bijan Robinson has managed to break a longtime franchise record, one that is not at all easy to break.
