Some good news for a team that hasn’t had much of it.
While others are using this Christmas Eve to make memories with their families, we instead look forward to the match-up against two teams unlikely to make the playoffs. The Falcons, short of a dramatic turnaround, are headed to yet another losing season. Even facing off against a backup quarterback for Indianapolis, the Falcons are still uncertain to win.
So push aside your family and gear up for a game you are hopeful to forget.
Santa came early this year for the Falcons. No, he didn’t give us a quarterback, but he did bring us a healthy Bud Dupree and David Onyemata, two important pieces to slowing down the Indianapolis offense.
- OL Kaleb McGary
- P Pat O’Donnell
- OL Jovaughn Gwyn
- DL Tommy Togiai
- TE John FitzPatrick
- DL Joe Gaziano
- OW Logan Woodside
For the Colts, a few big names are out, including Michael Pittman:
- C Jack Anderson
- RB Zack Moss
- LB Segun Olubi
- WR Michael Pittman Jr.
- T Braden Smith
- CB Darrell Baker Jr.
- DT Eric Johnson II
Pittman was the recipient of a cheap shot by former Falcons Damontae Kazee. That should help Atlanta, but recently the team has been so uncompetitive that it is unclear if this provides an impactful advantage.
