FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Falcons returned from their bye week Monday and find themselves a game out of first place in the NFC South with four games to play.
With the playoffs on the line, the Falcons are set to hand the football over to rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder, who has not played a down during the regular season.
“We did make a switch at quarterback; Desmond Ridder will be the starter,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said Monday. “It’s a performance-based decision.”
