The Atlanta Falcons made it official today, with head coach Arthur Smith announcing that rookie QB Desmond Ridder is taking over for Marcus Mariota in Week 15 versus the New Orleans Saints. Smith broke down his reasoning for making the change on Monday to the media, confirming that performance was the biggest factor leading to Mariota's benching. Aaron Freeman also discusses the news that Mariota may be done for the year with a knee injury, which Falcons offensive linemen may be returning to the lineup this week to help protect Ridder, and if we'll see the offense dial up more deep shots. Right guard Chris Lindstrom graded out as the best in the league this season and Aaron discusses why that should earn him his first Pro Bowl bid and how that could impact his potential contract negotiations this offseason.
