The Falcons redeemed themselves today and broke a 6-game losing streak with a thrilling win over the most annoying professional sports franchise on the planet Saints. It’s a moral victory, if anything, because let’s be honest, we’re already looking ahead to next season. But smacking around a hated rival on their home turf is always a good time.
Sadly there were some noteworthy injuries today. Let’s break ‘em down.
Devonta Freeman injured his foot or ankle and was ruled out during the second half. It’s bad timing for Free, because he needs to convince the coaching staff he’s still a valuable contributor and that he isn’t injury prone.
