Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith has announced that Taylor Heinicke will start as the quarterback for the team once again in their upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals. Heinicke took over the starting duties from Desmond Ridder for the Falcons’ previous game against the Minnesota Vikings, which they lost with a final score of 31-28. In that game, Heinicke completed 21-of-38 passes, threw a touchdown, and an interception.
The Falcons are currently 4-5 on the season and are one game behind the New Orleans Saints for the lead in the NFC South. Despite the loss to the Vikings, the division is still within reach for the Falcons, and they hope that Heinicke can lead them to success.
The upcoming game against the Cardinals presents an important opportunity for the Falcons to secure a win, as the Cardinals have only one win on the season. However, the return of Kyler Murray to the Cardinals could pose a challenge for the Falcons. Winning this game is crucial for the Falcons before they face a significant matchup at home against the Saints, which will have a significant impact on the division race.
Coach Smith has expressed his confidence in Heinicke as the team’s starting quarterback, despite the previous loss to the Vikings. The Falcons will look to regroup and secure a victory in their upcoming game against the Cardinals.
