LIIINKS
It’s Friday, and we’re heading into another NFL week that features the Atlanta Falcons in primetime. What a world. Read on for Falcoholinks to kick off your Friday morning.
Chiefs on deck for Week 3
The Falcons look to parlay their win on Monday Night Football into a winning streak on Sunday Night Football as they prepare to face the Chiefs at home. Atlanta opened as 4.5-point underdogs in the contest, and the line has moved a point in their favor through the week.
Should the Falcons top the Chiefs, it will be only the fourth win for Atlanta in the 11 times these two have met.
Jessie Bates wins NFC Defensive Player of the Week
Nobody was surprised to see safety Jessie Bates take home NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors after his performance against the Eagles. With a clutch PBU on the goal line and the interception to seal it, Bates did more of what he does best: Lockdown the secondary.
A few Falcons finalists on HOF nominee list
The Atlanta Falcons have several contenders for the 2025 Hall of Fame, including legend Roddy White. Will they make it to Canton?
3 up, 3 down
So whose stock is on the rise and who is trending downward ahead of Atlanta’s tilt against Kansas City? Our Tre’on Diaz has got you covered with this week’s 3 Up 3 Down.
