The Atlanta Falcons preseason has come to an end, and while very few Falcons that will start or see extensive playing time saw action last night, the team still provided a few takeaways to mull over as the final roster decisions are made.
Taylor Heinicke’s disappointing preseason is over
The quarterback who started games for the Falcons just last season took a big step backward this preseason. The first half Heinicke-led offense had less than 100 total yards, scored zero points, and went one-for-six on third down. The Falcons’ second-team offense played against Jacksonville’s starting defense for a handful of drives, but the offense showed little improvement even when the Jaguars’ second unit started subbing.
