Bleav in Falcons

Happy New Year! Will McFadden and Ovie Mughelli hit the mics after another demoralizing Falcons loss. This time, Atlanta watched Justin Fields and the Bears' offense move up and down the field on a snowy, cold day in the Windy City while Taylor Heinicke and the Falcons couldn't keep pace. It was a stark display of what the Falcons have been missing at the quarterback position, which Will and Ovie discuss. However, as frustrating as the loss may be, it didn't eliminate the Falcons from postseason contention and set up an all-important Week 18 showdown against the New Orleans Saints.
