Third Quarter: The Rout Is On
With two touchdowns in the third quarter, the Falcons appear to have put this one away.
They lead 24-3 entering the fourth. That will likely set up next week as a chance to finish the season with three straight victories and a winning season — which would give the franchise its first back-to-back winning seasons in its [...]

Breaking News: Bryant’s Return Questionable
If you thought you just saw defensive end Kroy Biermann taking that last kickoff, it’s because you did. Place kicker Matt Bryant has a hamstring injury and his return is listed as questionable.
So the Falcons are currently without both their punter (who also is the holder on field goals and extra points) and their place [...]
Breaking News: Gonzalez Out, Koenen Questionable
Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez has an injured calf and will not return, it was just announced in the press box.
Gonzalez, a 13-year veteran, entered the game leading the Falcons in receptions with 78. He has played in all 15 games this season and leads the NFL in Pro-Bowl voting.
In addition, punter Michael Koenen was ruled to [...]
Halftime: Regressing But Leading
At the outset of the second quarter, the Falcons looked as if they might make this one a laugher. They had the ball at the Bills’ 7 yard-line on a second down and were poised to go up 14-0. But then some personally foul play ensued, with sacks, penalties and, yes, personal foul calls that [...]

First Quarter: Falcons On Point
It’s hard to imagine that the game’s first six plays — or virtually the entire quarter, for that matter — could have gone any better for the Falcons, who lead 7-0 at the end of the first 15 minutes.
Following Fred Jackson’s 19-yard return on the opening kickoff, punctuated by a hard hit from the Falcons’ [...]

Pregame: Random Thoughts
With the exception of the Falcons’ shooting for a winning record, today’s game doesn’t have a lot of big themes or potentially surprising news stories in the way that the last few weeks have. Last Sunday, Matt Ryan and Michael Turner returned to the lineup (albeit briefly for Turner) and Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith [...]

Inactives: QB Starters Are Ryan, Brohm
For the second straight week, Matt Ryan will start at quarterback for the Falcons despite any lingering effects of the turf toe injury that sidelined him for almost three games. Ryan’s counterpart for Buffalo will be Brian Brohm, who will be making his first NFL start. Brohm has only been with the Bills for about [...]

Final: Falcons Pull One Out
On a day when the Falcons could have easily packed it in, they rallied in the game’s final minutes for a 10-7 victory over the New York Jets that is sure to be a character-builder for the future.
With Dallas’ win over New Orleans on Saturday, the Falcons were eliminated from the NFC playoffs. But they [...]

The score has not changed since the first quarter.
The FOX broadcast posted a statistic that the Jets have [...]
