There’s no sense in spending a lot of time on prologue when the truth from Week 7 is pretty simple.
It was, by and large, a grim week to be a former Falcon. The only saving grace for this week’s review was a pair of huge games from ex-Falcons defenders. Let’s take a look.
QB Matt Ryan
Fresh off his best week of the season, Ryan had another uneven effort against the Titans, completing 75% of his passes but throwing two interceptions against one touchdown and absorbing three sacks en route to a 19-10 loss. The Colts announced they were pulling the plug on the quarterback they traded with the Falcons for back in the spring and are inserting Sam Ehlinger into the lineup “for the rest of the season,” though that is of course subject to change according to Jim Irsay’s whims, Ehlinger’s performance, and/or Frank Reich being fired.
