I’d imagine if Arthur Smith came across this headline and did what so many of us ever do – not actually read the article – he’d furrow his brow at such an antagonistic and stupid question that continues to fuel a narrative.
In his defense, he’s not entirely wrong. The fact is Marcus Mariota has already led the Falcons to a victory. Two of them, in fact. Atlanta stands at 2-2 with a chance to take first place in the division solely for itself on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-10)
, and Mariota should be given credit for his role in that.
