Let’s learn more about this week’s opponent from Matt Holder at our sister site.

The Atlanta Falcons will face off against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. Only four games are left in the season, and one more loss could be the final blow to the Falcons playoff hopes.

The Raiders have had a disappointing season after committing to Antonio Pierce full-time. I wanted to gain more insight into what has been happening and where the team is headed. Matt Holder of the Silver and Black Pride was perfect for the job.

We’re closing in on the end of the season. What might happen when it’s over?

We all know where the Atlanta Falcons stand today. Just 6-7 and in the midst of a four game losing streak, Atlanta’s season is not yet toast but is starting to smell like toast.

Their only way out is to win, and they may need to win all four games to have a realistic chance of making the postseason. Their only open avenues are passing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (who are racking up injuries but have an easy schedule after this weekend’s Chargers tilt) or...

The first practice reports of the week have been released.

It’s the start of a new week, as the Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders begin preparation for their contest on Monday night. The Falcons are currently dealing with a four-game losing streak, and will need their key players health if they want to get a win against the Raiders. Let’s take a look at the health of both teams.

You can expect to normally see the injury reports here every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday unless there’s a primetime game.

Week 15 begins with an NFC West clash on Thursday Night Football between the Los Angeles Rams (7-6) and the San Francisco 49ers (6-7).

Just one game separates the Rams and the 49ers in the race for the division, which is currently led by the Seattle Seahawks at just 8-5. There’s a lot of room for movement over the final four games, and both teams desperately need this win to keep pace in...

The Raiders have been woeful and are losing key pieces. Can the Falcons take advantage and end their recent slide?

The Atlanta Falcons have collapsed over the last month. There’s no other way to characterize it after a team that was 6-3 and just needed to play .500 ball the rest of the way to be in great shape for a playoff spot lost four games in a row and ceded the top of the NFC South to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Their playoff hopes have dimmed and the discussion around the team has gotten grim, but the season has...

A plethora of individual coverage blunders and communication breakdowns leaves what was supposed to be the strength of Atlanta’s defense in a state of dismay.

When quarterbacks normally produce big games against the Atlanta Falcons’ defense, they are usually aided by operating in a clean pocket for most of the game. It’s rare for them to have the pocket collapse, let alone be sacked. That’s how insipid the pass rush has been in Atlanta since producing 39 sacks in 2017.

It’s been the same for most of this season with quarterbacks such as Bo Nix and Baker Mayfield at ease...

Oh no.

The division has a new leader for the first time since October. The Buccaneers have won four in a row, while the previous division leaders, the Falcons, have lost four in a row.

New Orleans squeaked out a win, and the Panthers put up another respectable performance in defeat. Here’s the Week 14 NFC South review.

Snap counts incoming.

Another week, another loss, another round of snap counts.

The offense contained few surprises, the defense had a little bit of mixing and matching, and special teams was reliable outside of one major miscue. Here’s the counts.

Atlanta faces the Raiders for the first time since Raheem Morris was interim head coach, and they hope to end a slide.

Let’s be blunt: If the Atlanta Falcons don’t win this game, their season is in danger of being over for real. With four straight losses and sitting at 6-7, Atlanta needs to put together the encouraging signings they’ve shown in recent weeks—the growth of the run game, the pass rush coming alive, etc.—and pair it with significant improvement from Kirk Cousins and the secondary.

Working in their favor is the fact that this Las Vegas Raiders team, while...
