Despite falling to second place in the NFC South after consecutive losses, the Falcons are sticking with Marcus Mariota as their starting quarterback. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Atlanta doesn’t plan on making a quarterback change unless the team drops out of the playoff picture.
Mariota, who signed with Atlanta in the offseason, has started every game for the 4-6 Falcons, who at one point were leading a weak NFC South. However, after losses to the Chargers and Panthers, Atlanta now trails the Buccaneers (5-5) for first place. The Falcons play the Bears on Sunday, while Tampa Bay is on its bye.
