Falcons QB Ridder facing more heat after 3 turnovers adds to offense's struggles | |
ATLANTA (AP) A popular postgame question for the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday: Did Desmond Ridder look at his receivers too long? The need for that inquiry may lead to another question becoming popular this week: Will coach Arthur Smith look only at one quarterback when planning for the Falcons next game? Is it time to wonder if veteran Taylor Heinicke is moving closer to getting a shot to jumpstart the struggling Atlanta offense? This is Ridder's first full season as the Atlanta starter, and he's only four games into the season. He was 2-2 in his four-game audition as the starter to close the 2022 season, and he's again 2-2 to open 2023. MORE | |
