After eight weeks of football, the Atlanta Falcons are 4-4 and tied for first place in the NFC South. The Falcons defense has undoubtedly been the strength of the team this season, and the offense has been a work in progress.
Atlanta made a quarterback change on Wednesday, naming Taylor Heinicke the starter for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. We’ll see if Heinicke can get the team back on track after last week’s loss to Tennessee.
Check out the Falcons’ starting lineups for Week 9, including Pro Football Focus season grades for each player.
