Pretty impressive that the Falcons were able to overcome the penalty differential. 19/125 vs 4/25

Matthews could do cosplay as a yellow flag and every Falcons fan would recognize him.

Do y'all really want to win games at this point? I mean you need a QB.

Not going to get one in the first round next year anyway, thanks to the trade with the Rams.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins will not play Sunday against the Ravens, marking the second game he has missed this season while in the concussion protocol.

Higgins also missed the Bengals' first game against the Ravens, a 32-14 victory in Baltimore on Thanksgiving Day. 

He had been limited for the first two days at practice this week then was not spotted during the portion of practice open to the media Friday morning.

The recent injury-laden stretch for Higgins started Nov. 23 against the New England Patriots. Higgins took a hard fall while going up for a pass. He was on the ground for minutes before eventually being carted off the field. Higgins did not play four days later against the Ravens.

On Dec. 7 against the Buffalo Bills, Higgins was slow to get up after another hard fall at Highmark Stadium. Higgins cleared that concussion check and another later in the game after he gingerly walked off the field following a completion.

"I'm a team-first guy, you know what I mean," Higgins said after the game. "My team needed me. I felt like they did, so I went out there and played."

He finished with six catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns, including one after his final concussion check, in the 39-34 loss to the Bills. However, later in the evening and into Monday morning, Higgins reported concussion-like symptoms and was placed back in the protocol.

Honestly, that trade has absolutely worked out for the Falcons.

They got James Pearce Jr. who is leading all NFL rookies with 8 sacks on the season.  Has had a sack in each of the last six games.  Only rookies to do that are like Kearse back in the day for the Titans and Micah.  They also got a 3rd round pick out of the deal which they used on Xavier Watts who has 3 INTs on the year and is already a starting quality safety.

What's really biting them in the ass is the whole Cousins being ass against everyone not named the Bucs and Penix being injured/not that great.  

They need to dump the coaching staff, jettison Kirk, find a bridge QB until Penix is back healthy, get a #2 WR, franchise tag Pitts and make him prove it for another year, and then maybe see if they can snag some LB/CB depth or a fat NT to help them stop the run.  Knowing how stupid the Falcons are though I'm sure this goofy win probably bought Morris another year as HC.

Yeah I wasn't grading the trade with that reaction. It's just never fun to suck when you don't own your pick.
