Atlanta Falcons saved Arthur Smith with 29-10 win over Indianapolis Colts

Merry Christmas! The Atlanta Falcons may have saved their most impressive win of the season for their last home game in a 29-10 Week 16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down how this was probably enough to save head coach Arthur Smith's job, and why the Falcons were able to play complementary football on both sides of the ball.

In addition to the success of the ground game, the feistiness of the pass rush, he explains why it still feels like it's a "too little, too late" sort of game. He also breaks down his initial thoughts on quarterback Taylor Heinicke's performance in his return to the lineup. Finally, he updates the status of offensive tackle Jake Matthews (knee) postgame and discusses the emergence of rookies Clark Phillips and DeMarcco Hellams as starters in the secondary.
