Week 15 is officially upon us in the NFL, with the Falcons heading to Tampa on Thursday night to take on the Buccaneers.
Atlanta enters this one coming off their seventh loss in their last eight games—a 37–9 defeat at the hands of the Seahawks—and as it slowly put 2025 in the rearview and focus on '26, it has plenty more questions than answers, specifically at the quarterback position. Michael Penix Jr. is dealing with another catastrophic knee injury and while Kirk Cousins is still under contract for two more seasons, it's hard to imagine he's the Falcons' plan, even for the medium-term.
