FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons may be starting Taylor Heinicke against the Arizona Cardinals this week, but coach Arthur Smith made it clear that he's not interested in the decision about who starts at quarterback becoming a weekly topic of conversation.
"We're not going to play musical chairs," Smith said Wednesday. "Hopefully we can go get this win. Take a second to really evaluate as we make that sprint towards the end of the season. "That's the best I can give you right now."
Barring something unforeseen, Smith said the staff will evaluate what they've seen from Heinicke versus what Desmond Ridder provided over the first eight weeks and then make a decision from there.
