Takeaways:
The Falcons have officially named rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder the starter for this week’s big divisional game against the Saints. Many fans are excited to see what the rookie will be able to potentially do, and the Falcons are at a critical crossroads. They could go on to win the NFC South with Ridder being the decided QB of the future, or they’ll finish with a top ten pick and be in the market for a quarterback in a class that has plenty of talent at the position. The Saints still boast a pretty tough defense and pass rush, but hopefully the Falcons learned from their mistakes in the first game of the season against this team and will be able to hold a lead if they are to get one.
