Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith reveal a new game plan to his team after New York Jets clash

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith emphasized the importance of self-focus as his team competes for the NFC South crown. Following a hard-fought 13-8 road victory over the New York Jets, which brought their season record to 6-6, the Falcons solidified their lead over the New Orleans Saints in the division.

Despite both teams struggling to generate offensive momentum in the game, with the Jets dealing with a quarterback carousel and the Falcons facing challenges with quarterback Desmond Ridder, the Falcons’ defense played a crucial role in securing the win.

In the post-game reflection, Coach Smith acknowledged the intensity of the divisional race and stressed the need for the team to concentrate on their own performance. He highlighted the reality of playoff contention, recognizing that games may become challenging, especially in adverse conditions. The key, according to Smith, is to adapt and find ways to win, focusing on continuous improvement.

With their victory, the Falcons now have a one-game lead over the Saints in the NFC South. Looking ahead, Smith expressed the team’s commitment to self-correction and improvement, recognizing the necessity of addressing issues that may have arisen in the recent game but had worked in previous weeks.

Sitting at .500 for the season, the Falcons are optimistic about their chances of securing a winning record as they prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the upcoming week.
