Taylor Heinicke tomará el lugar de Desmond Ridder, propenso a regalar balones, como el quarterback titular de los Falcons de Atlanta para el juego del domingo en contra de los Vikings de Minnesota.
El coach Arthur Smith dijo el miércoles que la decisión de iniciar con Heinicke se tomó “considerando todas las variables”. Smith no se comprometió a que el veterano se quedará en el cargo después del domingo. “En realidad nuestra concentración está en el corto plazo y lo que nos dé la mejor oportunidad para el domingo”, afirmó Smith.
Ridder ha seguido perdiendo balones y la ofensiva de Atlanta batalló en contra de Tennessee en la primera mitad. Fue capturado cinco veces y perdió otro balón suelto, su 10ma pérdida de balón en los últimos cinco juegos, contra los Titans. Los Falcons solamente generaron 89 yardas totales, 35 yardas netas por pase y cinco primeros y diez en la primera mitad con Ridder.
