Falcons flash offensive depth, overwhelm Cardinals 38-19

Stop Sanu, enter Taylor Gabriel.

The Falcons (7-4) will take a one-game lead over Tampa Bay into this week’s game against Kansas City (8-3). Palmer also has a franchise WR, Larry Fitzgerald, though he’s well into his 30s and may be playing his final season.

He spent most of his afternoon dumping balls underneath to David Johnson, who led all players with eight receptions and 103 yards.

“We had a pass play called”, Kaepernick said.

The Cardinals (4-6-1) have lost two straight and three of their past four, putting them in danger of missing the post-season a season after reaching the NFC championship game.

“I’m just bummed”, said Carson Palmer, who threw for 289 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but didn’t do almost enough to turn things around. “Frustrating. And it hurts”. It is just too insane of a season for everybody. I don’t think catching the ball is one of them.

Last week against the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer was held to under 200 passing yards for the first time in the 2016 National Football League season.

CARDINALS ‘ special-team breakdowns continued to be costly, allowing a 104-yard KR for a TD on the second-half kickoff, as well as a 23-yard punt return that set up Vikes’ first score in Week 11. Atlanta’s offense gets back on track, and leads to a nice victory.

ABOUT THE FALCONS (6-4): Matt Ryan is second in the National Football League in passing yards (3,247) and has thrown for 24 touchdowns with five interceptions in the best season of his strong career. He went to the sidelines but returned to the game, and actually did a good job on Jones, holding him to four catches for 35 yards. The Falcons offense subsequently put up 38 points on them. Following the second touchdown scored by the 25-year-old, his team also made it a point to lob some shade in the direction of the Cleveland Browns, who elected to part ways with Gabriel in September. The NFL Odds for the game have the Falcons favored to pick up the win at home.

After what seemed like an eternity since the Falcons played a game, they finally got back on the field yesterday. Jerry Rice (274 games) and Tony Gonzalez (211 games) own the two longer streaks.

Wile is just another Matt for Atlanta’s roster, joining Bosher, kicker Matt Bryant and quarterbacks Ryan, Matt Schaub and Matt Simms, who is on the practice squad.

“When your opportunity comes, you go nail it”, Quinn said. “Usually somebody turns around”. Jones however, was involved in two pass interference plays, both on Cardinals’ cornerback Patrick Peterson, which contributed to Falcons’ scores.

CARDINALS have yet to win a game outside the Pacific time zone.

BRYANT’S MISSES: Atlanta’s Matt Bryant has always been one of the NFL’s most accurate kickers, but he’s coming off a tough game against the Eagles.

Because of that, Arians said the focus is on one game – the next one – and not what needs to happen in order for them to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
