Falcons offense sizzles in Taylor Heinicke's return as QB

ATLANTA -- Earlier this week, the Atlanta Falcons offense met inside the team's practice facility. They meet every week, sure, but this was a little bit different.

The Falcons again had a quarterback change, going back to Taylor Heinicke from Desmond Ridder. The Falcons were also in must-win mode for the rest of the season with an offense that hadn't achieved as much as anyone thought they might.

So, the offense -- coaches and players -- got together to work things out. The result, a 29-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday kept the Falcons in the NFC South and wild-card playoff picture while also putting together one of their best offensive performances of the season.
