Fact: T.J. Yates likes to cuddle with a football when he's feeling scared or lonely
The Atlanta Falcons played a long, exhausting football game tonight. To be frank, there weren't a lot of of injuries, and as always, that's a good thing. Not sure if you can count T.J. Yates bruised ego as an injury, but if you do, the prognosis isn't good.
The Falcons went into the game with their top three running backs inactive. That was a bit of a shock, because both Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman practiced yesterday. Most thought both men would get some touches tonight.
