The Falcons escaped with a narrow win against the Packers in Week 2 to continue their best start since 2017. Can Atlanta keep it going in Week 3 against the Lions? Kevin Knight and Adnan Ikic break down the 2-0 start and the initial injury reports.

Relive the best moments of each game in the 2023 season right here.

We’re two games into the 2023 NFL season, and if there’s one thing we can say about these Falcons so far: They’ve been exciting to watch.

Sometimes that excitement has been ... not the good kind, like when Desmond Ridder caught his own pass in Week 1 vs. the Panthers for a loss of 6 yards. That was exciting, yes. Also hilarious. But I wouldn’t call it “good.”

But sometimes the excitement has been for amazing reasons, and those are the plays we’re going to keep track...

So far, Robinson looks to be every bit the player he was expected to be coming out of Texas.

If you weren’t already convinced that Bijan Robinson is the real deal, may I submit the following highlight into evidence.

It’s a unique angle that really shows off the rookie’s vision, anticipation, and shiftiness.

Over two games, Robinson has racked up 180 yards on 29 carries, for an average of 6.2 yards per carry. He’s added 10 catches on 11 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown. That versatility is just as valuable to this offense as his athletic talent.

Falcons center Drew Dalman spoke with The Falcoholic about the 2023 season so far, taking the next step, and more.

The Atlanta Falcons 2023 season is well underway, as the team finds itself in spot where they haven’t been since the 2017 season — having a 2-0 record. That same season, the Falcons went on to make the playoffs and come within a few plays of making the NFC Championship game for the second-straight year.

Although expectations in 2017 were arguably much higher after having a Super Bowl appearance the following year, the 2023 roster is full of young, hungry...

It’s a frustrating loss for Atlanta, who will go looking for running back depth now.

The Falcons left preseason with Cordarrelle Patterson banged up, so the presence of Godwin Igwebuike was a bit of a blessing. The veteran running back impressed throughout preseason and the summer, earning a spot on the practice squad, and wound up active on the first two gamedays for Atlanta.

With Patterson on his way back this week—we hope—the Falcons may not have needed Igwebuike against the Lions. Still, his ability to field kickoffs and his skill as a runner figured to make him useful for...

As the Falcons battled till the end against Green Bay, they received valuable contributions from two of their most intriguing additions in the offseason, with Mack Hollins and Jonnu Smith solidifying their places in Atlanta.

Given all the high-profile acquisitions and the selection of everyone’s new favorite running back, it’s understandable how some new players on the Falcons’ roster can be overlooked. A team once in dire need of talent has suddenly become a well-rounded balance between prolific young talent and proven dependable veterans.

Although they certainly have their share of flaws, particularly at the most indefensible position in the...

We learned plenty after Sunday’s win over the Green Bay Packers, including players that are ready — and players we won’t know more about this season.

The Atlanta Falcons did what many thought was unthinkable, and more remarkably, something that hasn’t been done by this team in years: it started off the season 2-0. Sunday’s win was particularly impressive, with the Falcons battling back from a 12-point deficit in the 4th quarter.

We learn a lot after every game, but we learn so much more positive after wins.

1. Arthur Smith’s mentality is gaining traction

Don’t take that to...

The 2-0 Falcons want their first 3-0 start since 2017; the 1-1 Lions are hoping to rebound from a tough loss to Seattle.

The Atlanta Falcons ran away with the Week 1 game against the Panthers late. They won by rallying furiously late against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Now Week 3 looms, with a road matchup against the Detroit Lions, and the outcome to be determined.

It will be a matchup of two teams considered rising squads in the NFC. Detroit was a preseason darling of many and then knocked off Kansas City in Week 1, and...

The Falcons clawed back a win from what seemed an inevitable loss.

Hat tips

Bijan breaks out

Bijan Robinson was an unstoppable force in Atlanta’s win over Green Bay. At times, he appeared to be operating in some adjacent universe where time slowed down around him. Rushing for 124 yards and adding 48 in the air, Robinson used his legs to will the Falcons to the win. They likely drop this game without his two clutch fourth-down conversions.

Everyone knew Robinson was special ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft, but in Sunday it was apparent that he can...

Check back on Friday for answers!

We’re two weeks into the 2023 season, and the Falcons are sitting pretty at 2-0, but there are always a lot of questions around this team, particularly so early in the season.
