"A Bird Battle of two tailspun teams missing their starting quarterback takes place on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, when the Falcons face off against the Cardinals. On the heels of its upset road victory over Tampa Bay, Atlanta finds itself as 2.5-point road favorites over Arizona, per FanDuel Sportsbook. Quarterback Kirk Cousins dialed it back to Kirktober in that win, completing 30 of 44 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns."
"Tight end Kyle Pitts was the beneficiary of all three of those touchdown passes, opening up quite the conversation on what the Falcons should do as he heads into the off-season as an unrestricted free agent."
"After another injury-plagued season, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was formally shut down for the season, meaning Atlanta will face backup Jacoby Brissett. Brissett is 1-1 against the Falcons in his career, securing a win when he was with the Colts, a game where he threw for 310 yards and a pair of touchdowns."
Two struggling teams without their starting quarterbacks meet in Glendale as the Falcons play the Cardinals on Sunday. Atlanta is a 2.5-point road favorite following an upset win at Tampa Bay. Kirk Cousins completed 30 of 44 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns in that victory. Tight end Kyle Pitts caught all three touchdown passes and enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. Kyler Murray was shut down for the season, so Arizona will start backup Jacoby Brissett, who is 1-1 versus Atlanta and once threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns. The Cardinals are 3-11 and seek a top-five 2026 draft pick.
