Atlanta Falcons all-time excellent is confirmed dead following fatal plane crash
The devastating 9-7 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday severely damaged the Atlanta Falcons’ chances of making the playoffs. And that might bring about another shift beneath the center.
Desmond Ridder or Taylor Heinicke will start at quarterback for the Falcons on Christmas Eve against the visiting Indianapolis Colts, head coach Arthur Smith said on Monday.
There is still hope for the playoffs. Atlanta is currently one game behind the Tampa Bay Bucs and New Orleans Saints in the NFC South, despite having lost two straight against division rivals Tampa Bay and Carolina.
Before traveling to Chicago and New Orleans to finish the season, the Falcons (6-8) are only one game behind the Colts (8-6) in the wild-card race going into their regular-season home game against them on Sunday.
“We had a great opportunity and unfortunately, we’ve lost two games in eight days,” Smith stated. And we are to blame for that. Nobody is to blame but ourselves. However, there is still hope, and we must unite and get ready to face an extremely talented Indianapolis club when they visit.”

Against the Panthers, Ridder completed 12 of 20 passes for 152 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. He has passed for 2,528 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. For the team, Ridder has also scored five touchdowns via rushes. However, he has fumbled 11 times, thrown 10 interceptions, and made five mistakes inside the red zone.
In a 31-28 loss to Minnesota, Heinicke got off to a 21-of-38 passing yard total with one touchdown and one interception. In Week 10’s 25-23 loss to Arizona, he also started and completed 8 of 15 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown before Ridder took over in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury.
“Not definitive. In response to a question regarding the quarterback position, Smith stated, “But obviously still working through that.” “I met with the quarterbacks just a minute ago before coming in here due to my media obligations and I’ll circle back with those guys because there’s some stuff we still need to work through.”

The idea was to start Ridder for the rest of the season, but Smith appears to be considering his options after Sunday’s defeat in order to determine what will work best for his team in the next three games.
