Taylor Heinicke Looks Decent In Loss

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke was asked to come into the Week 8 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Bijan Robinson Remains On RB1 Radar

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson saw only one carry during last week's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
