Birds Got to Change
There were several instances in which Atlanta could have taken control of this game but could not do so. The passing game is clearly holding the Falcons back, and despite their status in the division, a change should be discussed during the team’s Week 14 bye. The Falcons are very much in contention to steal the NFC South crown away from the Bucs, but the team has been walking in place for some time now. Perhaps the best route for this team is to pivot to rookie QB Desmond Ridder and assess his talents before seasons end.
Regarding Pittsburgh, the Steelers have now won three of their last four and look quite formidable on defense. The verdict remains as to whether or not rookie QB Kenny Pickett is a piece to build around, but this team is not one to ignore moving forward.
Still Owned
It is alarming that the Bears are playing an injured Justin Fields at this point in the season, but he obliged with an obligatory highlight-reel touchdown once again. The Bears had actually controlled this game for much of its run, but the veteran Packers made the plays necessary to win in the fourth.
