Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons gave their international fans a vintage performance in this tough overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The Falcons now stand at 3-6 with a less than 20% chance of making the playoffs.
Here are the Week 10 snap reactions.
The defense keeps stacking sacks — seven in this game — and everyone is getting in on the fun. Nate Ollie was touted in the offseason as a big addition, and I’d argue he’s the most impactful hire they made.
Not only has Ollie gotten instant results from his rookie...

The Falcons put up quite a fight against the Colts in Berlin, but offensive struggles and a few key misses on defense were ultimately their undoing in a brutal overtime loss. Kevin Knight and Allen Strk break down the game, including the end of the (reasonable) playoff hopes, Penix’s struggles, frustrating defensive and special teams miscues, and more. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of The Falcoholic Live!

The Atlanta Falcons went to Germany with everything to play for and their season basically hanging in the balance, and they found a way to fritter it away instead. A team that has made embarrassment an art form found a new way to get it done in Berlin, and at 3-6, they’re screwed.
The Falcons were bad early but rallied, actually took a four point lead at one point, and then frittered that way thanks to offensive ineptitude. After letting the Colts take the lead, they managed to get it back again, then allowed the Colts to go downfield and...

What a week 9.
With some massive upsets (congratulations to the Steelers, Cardinals, Vikings, and *checks notes* Panthers), the top of the NFL power rankings saw plenty of movement this week. The playoffs are fast approaching as we get into the heart of November, and teams like the Ravens, Jaguars (I guess), and Steelers are making late-season pushes to guarantee a spot in the postseason dance.
With the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, and Tennessee Titans resting up this week, let’s get into the Week 10 NFL Power Rankings.
Total. Domination. The...

Brew a cup of coffee, down that Mountain Dew, or simply bask in the glow of the morning sun and prepare yourself for the earliest Falcons game of the year. It’s Falcons-Colts in Germany, and I hope to god it’s a good game.
Use this as your open thread, and go Falcons forever, no matter what.

Despite the emphasis on the run game for both the Atlanta Falcons and the Indianapolis Colts, much of this week’s intrigue centers on matchups in the passing game. If both teams are successful in getting Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor going, a deciding factor in Sunday’s outcome could rest on which of these intriguing pass-game matchups goes their way.
However, despite an immense amount of intrigue, rules stipulate that only five Falcons can be named.
Coming on the heels of a three-touchdown performance, Falcons wide receiver Drake London will have to square off against one of the...

Time continues to tick on the Falcons’ 2025 season, as they take their play across the pond and to Berlin, Germany for a showdown against the team with the best record in the NFL up to this point, in the upstart Indianapolis Colts.
The losing streak has reached three games for the Birds, following their defeat against the Patriots this past weekend. Now they find themselves faced with a Colts team that has been the surprise of the season, sporting an offense which is currently operating on a historic pace. For those watching on the east coast, this will be...

The Atlanta Falcons will be facing an uphill climb to get their running game back on track against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10. They are down at least one starter on their offensive line, left guard Matthew Bergeron, and may be down another with right guard Chris Lindstrom listed as questionable. Coupled with the continued reliance on backup right tackle Elijah Wilkinson, the Falcons’ offensive line will face their biggest challenge of the season in Germany on Sunday morning.
That challenge will center on the Falcons’ ability to reestablish their run game, which has gone sorely missing as the...

The Falcons prepare for a meeting against a team that’s had their number more than almost any other team in the league in the Indianapolis Colts.
The last four meetings have resulted in the spoils being shared, with Atlanta winning in 2011 and 2023. When you consider the historic context of this matchup, that’s an immense accomplishment for the Falcons, who had only ever beaten Indianapolis one time — during their 14-win season in 1998 — before that 2011 game, where rookie Julio Jones had two impressive touchdowns and a coming out party.
Dating back to their time in Baltimore,...

For the first time under Terry Fontenot, the Falcons fully dedicated their draft capital towards upgrading the defense. It was the logical move to make following four years of investing top picks at the most prominent offensive positions. Addressing glaring needs at edge rusher and across the secondary was vital toward revamping the defense. The results have been hugely encouraging, with all four players having standout moments and contributing with savvy plays.
If a hamstring injury didn’t derail him, Billy Bowman Jr. would have garnered serious consideration as the most impressive rookie. His playmaking skills, combined with the physical edge...
