"The defense keeps stacking sacks - seven in this game - and everyone is getting in on the fun. Nate Ollie was touted in the offseason as a big addition, and I'd argue he's the most impactful hire they made. Not only has Ollie gotten instant results from his rookie edge rushes, but he's also getting the most out of the veterans and the crop of young defenders who were going to waste. Leave it to the Falcons to be second in the league in sacks and not any closer to a winning season."
"It was not a good game for the young quarterback, especially in the second half. The pressure is getting to him and leading to a case of the jitters. Ball placement struggles continue. He had a nice throw to Drake London for a touchdown, but underthrew Kyle Pitts, who was going to walk into the endzone."
"Allgeier is going to make some other team very happy next year. Today was his day; the power back punished the Colts defense all game and propelled the Falcons into overtime. Bijan Robinson is a stud, but Allgeier has played so consistently his entire Falcons career that some fans will always wonder what things would be like if the team had gone all in on him."
The Falcons lost in overtime to the Colts and fell to 3-6 with under a 20% chance of reaching the playoffs. The defense produced seven sacks and has climbed to second in the league in sacks, with Nate Ollie driving performance gains from rookies and veterans. The young quarterback struggled, especially under pressure, showing ball-placement issues, an intentional grounding penalty, and inconsistent awareness. Running back Allgeier dominated the game and fits the Falcons' run scheme, while Bijan Robinson remains a standout. Opponents frequently gained advantageous field position near midfield, making stops difficult.
