The Falcons have a turnover problem and his name is Desmond Ridder. The second-year quarterback committed his 12th turnover of the season in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Titans. No player in the NFL has turned the ball over more than Ridder this season.
Ridder fumbled for the fourth time in the last two weeks and has committed seven total turnovers over the last two-and-a-half games. As the Falcons trail 14-3 at halftime, head coach Arthur Smith has made a switch to Taylor Heinicke.
Here’s how Falcons fan on Twitter reacted to Ridder getting benched.
