During his conversation with Jon Chuckery, AJC/Atlanta Braves beat writer, Justin Toscano explains how the Braves' players are focused on winning despite the record setting season they are having

JC opens up the show with some brief talks on the Falcons and basically believes that the Falcons lack of controlling either side of the line of scrimmage against the Lions was what led to the loss on Sunday. JC highlights that the amount of pressure Ridder was under in the game was also crucial and shares his thoughts on why the offensive line has to get better sooner than later.

JC shares his thoughts on why he believs that Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions will be a good test for the Falcons defense, especially because of the play of Jared Goff. JC believs that Atlanta will have to find ways to get pressure on the Detroit quarterback, especially with the Lions having to go without David Montgomery in the backfield with Gibbs.
