The Atlanta Falcons have to make a potential franchise-changing decision at the quarterback position after their 28-23 loss to Tennessee Titans in Week 8. Desmond Ridder (concussion) exited the game after another lackluster first half in favor of backup Taylor Heinicke, who gave the Falcons offense a nice adrenaline. But Ridder stayed on the sideline even after he was cleared medically. Head coach Arthur Smith indicated the decision to stick with Heinicke wasn't performance-based in regards to Ridder, but is that true?

Host Aaron Freeman breaks it all down, including the reality that the Falcons' loss had less to do with the quarterback and more to do with the Titans perfectly executing their game plan of featuring Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, Will Levis, and Jeffery Simmons. He also discusses if the Falcons should toss the keys to Heinicke, and whether or not that would bring a much shorter leash for Smith moving forward.

Later, he discusses Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins' (Achilles) injury potential impact on the Falcons next matchup in Week 9, and the possibility that the Falcons trade for Washington Commanders defensive end Montez Sweat before Tuesday's trade deadline.
