The Falcons’ fourth-quarter rally against the Titans came up short and they fell to 4-4 on the season following Sunday’s 28-23 loss. Even though the team didn’t come away with a win, a problem that has plagued the offense all season might finally have a solution.
Fans got their first look at quarterback Taylor Heinicke, who made the most of his opportunity to fill in for Desmond Ridder. After scoring just three points in the first half, Atlanta’s offense put up 20 points with Heinicke under center in the second half.
Obviously, it wasn’t enough, but we do see an opportunity for this Falcons offense to take a step forward with Heinicke — if he gets the chance. With that being said, check out our studs and duds from Week 8.
