The Atlanta Falcons lost their fifth straight game in Week 11, so naturally, a change in leadership should be on the horizon. But after the Dirty Birds saw both Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London go down with knee injuries in the 30-27 loss, it drastically altered the team's expectations the rest of the way.
The 3-7 Falcons have no hope to make the playoffs anymore this season, as their face of the franchise was placed on injured reserve with a partially torn ACL. While the shift to Kirk Cousins could still keep the season alive, the 37-year-old isn't the signal-caller he was back in 2022 or even 2023.
