The Falcons are reportedly sticking with Marcus Mariota at quarterback despite losing two straight
as their starting quarterback. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Atlanta doesn’t plan on making a quarterback change unless the team drops out of the playoff picture.
Mariota, who signed with Atlanta in the offseason, has started every game for the 4-6 Falcons, who at one point were leading a weak NFC South. However, after losses to the Chargers and Panthers, Atlanta now trails the Buccaneers for first place. The Falcons play the Bears on Sunday, while Tampa Bay is on its bye.
On the season, Mariota has totaled 1,747 passing yards with 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while also rushing for 347 yards and three touchdowns. Atlanta ranks next to last in the NFL with 156.8 passing yards per game, but is fourth in the league with 160.4 rushing yards per game.put more blame on the teamIf the Falcons do make a quarterback change, they likely will turn to rookie Desmond Ridder, whom the team selected out of Cincinnati in the third round of the 2022 draft.
