"The Falcons amassed their largest halftime lead since 2016, and they watched it crumble away in the second half. Raheem Morris has built a thrilling but dangerous rollercoaster. When the ride is fully functioning, it can lead to a weekend of fun for the whole family, but the other 50% of the time, it's a death trap. This isn't a roster issue; it's a culture one, and the culture won't change without a significant overhaul."
"There isn't a better running back in the NFL, and you can debate a wall if you disagree. Robinson has an ankle collection that none can rival; the back is built like Ladainian Tomlinson, and he cuts like Barry Sanders. The only part of his games that his doubters could point to was his lack of breakaway speed, and he put that argument to bed with his 93-yard house call."
"It's cool that Cousins can get the ball to his locker-room buddy, but there's no reason he should be avoiding Drake London like he's the plague. Kyle Pitts had a big catch in the second half but was a non-factor most of the game. The second-half offense sputtered, and ZRob and Cousins struggled to distribute the ball to playmakers not named Bijan."
The Falcons nearly blew a 21-0 lead but held off the Rams for a primetime win, marking a third straight victory since playoff elimination. The team posted its largest halftime lead since 2016 before watching it collapse in the second half. Raheem Morris's approach has produced thrilling highs and dangerous collapses, signaling a culture problem that requires significant overhaul. Bijan Robinson dominated, logging the franchise single-season scrimmage yards record and a 93-yard touchdown, showcasing elite running ability. Offensive distribution faltered in the second half as Cousins and Zac Robinson underutilized playmakers like Drake London and Kyle Pitts. Special teams miscues, including a blocked field goal, compounded concerns.
