Falcons to wear red helmets vs. Commanders in Week 6

Falcons Desmond Ridder Jefferson (Person) Atlanta (Organization)

The Atlanta Falcons (3-2) will look to stay undefeated at home when they host the Washington Commanders (2-3) in Week 6.

Second-year quarterbacks Desmond Ridder and Sam Howell will face off this Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Fans can officially rejoice as the Falcons are set to wear their classic red helmets.

Atlanta is currently a 2.5-point favorite over Washington, but the team can’t afford to wait until the fourth quarter to start scoring points this time around.

Ridder will look to build off last week’s breakout performance. The former third-round pick passed for a career-high 329 yards in Atlanta’s Week 5 win over the Texans.

Check out the team’s injury report and updated 53-man roster for Week 6.
