Falcons QB Taylor Heinicke questionable for season finale vs. Saints

If the Atlanta Falcons (7-9) are going to win Sunday’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints (8-8), they may have to do so without starting quarterback Taylor Heinicke. The team released its final Week 18 injury report on Friday and Heinicke was officially listed as questionable.

If Heinicke can’t play, Desmond Ridder would get the start for Atlanta. Neither quarterback has been overly impressive this season.

Heinicke has passed for 890 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions (passer rating of 74.7). As for Ridder, he has 2,545 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions (passer rating of 81.1).

The Falcons must find a way to get a win over the Saints if they hope to end their five-year postseason drought.
