ATLANTA -- Desmond Ridder had to think. Even then, he couldn’t quite come up with an answer. It was about a half-hour after he led the Atlanta Falcons to a 12-point fourth-quarter comeback, his fourth straight win as the team’s starting quarterback, and he ended up in a very elementary conversation.
Ridder started talking about grades.
Not the grades the coaches give him, rather the ones he gives himself weekly. Rarely does it go well. Last week against the Carolina Panthers, he gave himself a C+. This week, without watching the film yet, he gave himself a C-range grade after the Falcons beat the Green Bay Packers, 25-24.
