ATLANTA, Ga - The Atlanta Falcons are on their way to a dreadful loss to the Miami Dolphins at home in Week 8, but they were dealt another dose of bad news with the injury to another critical member of their defense.

Atlanta has some question marks of its own, as QB Michael Penix Jr. and WR Drake London’s statuses for Week 9 remain uncertain. Even if both can suit up, New England still has plenty of momentum to pull out a victory of six or more points.

Williams has been a bit banged up for Clemson so far this season, but when healthy, he is one of the more dependable wide receivers in the 2026 class. At 5-11 and 190 pounds, Williams is a slot receiver with tremendous short area quickness and football IQ. Combining his skill set with Drake London could be a wonderful pairing.

The struggles of the Atlanta Falcons' offense were on full display Sunday, as they struggled against one of the league's worst defenses.

NFL insider Dan Graziano doesn't think that the Falcons blew an opportunity to trade Kirk Cousins after the latter's awful game.

When the Atlanta Falcons last left Mercedes-Benz Stadium, they had just finished off an impressive 24-14 “Monday Night Football” win over the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 13

The Atlanta Falcons' defense has been consistent, but the offense struggles to score. Kirk Cousins returns as starter, but the team faces challenges.

Injuries played a factor as well. The Falcons did not have first-round pick Jalon Walker or fourth-round pick Billy Bowman Jr. in Week 8. That left edge rusher James Pearce Jr. and safety Xavier Watts to carry the load for Atlanta's draft class.
