Naming five Atlanta Falcons most weeks can be difficult. Yet, with the team facing a must-win contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, finding those with intriguing potential becomes a bit easier.
This week’s focus is on players that need to step up, either in new opportunities or familiar ones.
Taylor Heinicke
That begins with starting quarterback Taylor Heinicke, who needs to step up after a rough outing last week against the Minnesota Vikings. Heinicke’s decision-making must improve after throwing a game-changing interception last week.
The Falcons are currently on the second-longest active streak of games with a turnover at eight in a row.
