Scouting the Enemy: Atlanta Falcons

The Denver Broncos host the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Here is a deeper look at their Week 11 opponent.

Week 11 of the season is upon us. The Denver Broncos host the NFC South leading Atlanta Falcons in a must-win matchup on Sunday.

Bo Nix gets NFL Rookie of the Week

There was at least that win for Week 10.

Being named NFL Rookie of the Week for Week 10 wasn’t the “win” Bo Nix would have preferred, but the Broncos’ quarterback certainly deserved it.
