Atlanta Falcons Reacts results, Week 7: How could fans not be confident in this team?
How confident are Falcons fans heading into Week 7 Sunday Night Football vs. the San Francisco 49ers? Here are the results from this week’s survey.
The 49ers are starting backup quarterback Mac Jones, who will be making his fifth appearance in seven games in place of Brock Purdy. The Niners are getting somewhat healthier with the return of star tight end George Kittle,
McKivitz has been a slightly above-average tackle in the NFL, which is why the 49ers decided to pay him, because that is hard to find. However, that means he comes with his flaws; it typically comes in pass protection as speed rushers who can get lower than him and beat him around the edge.
Sunday Night Football heads to the West Coast this week for a Falcons vs 49ers showdown. Live coverage begins at 7 PM ET on NBC and Peacock.
Here’s why: The Falcons’ offense, while talented, is predictable. They do a poor job of differentiating their run and pass looks. Combine that with a young, hyper-confident quarterback in Michael Penix who loves to test tight windows on first-read throws, and you have an offense that can be fooled.
The Atlanta Falcons released an injury report on Thursday that gave an update on offensive tackle Jake Matthews and edge rusher Jalon Walker.
Buffalo officially elevated veteran defensive lineman Jordan Phillips and safety Jordan Poyer from the practice squad for Monday's matchup with Atlanta. Phillips is on his third stint with the Bills, while Poyer, a former All-Pro, is on his second.
The Atlanta Falcons received a national audience on Monday night, and for the second time this season, they put on a show in prime time. Atlanta dominated a Buffalo Bills team that many expect to be a Super Bowl contender.
