The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up for a challenging game against the Denver Broncos this Sunday. The Broncos, with their mobile rookie quarterback and strong defense, present a formidable opponent as the Falcons approach their bye week.

David H. from Marshalltown, Iowa expressed concerns about the upcoming matchup, particularly regarding the offensive line's ability to protect quarterback Kirk Cousins. "Knowing that Cousins is not very mobile, the Broncos have to be game-planning for just that," he noted. The Falcons may need to rely on quick passes or an increased run game to counteract Denver's pressure.

Mike S from Calgary highlighted the Falcons' struggles against mobile quarterbacks like Bo Nix. He questioned whether these difficulties stem from a lack of pass rush or issues with linebackers. Containing such quarterbacks often requires a coordinated pass rush and possibly using a spy or zone coverage.

Vincente Andrews from Phenix City, Ala., posed several questions about the Falcons' offensive strategy and player performance. He questioned why the offense isn't more aggressive from the start and noted that "Kirk is holding on [to] the ball too long." Andrews also commented on receiver separation and emphasized his long-standing support for the team.
