The Falcons got off to a predictably slow start in the first half of Sunday’s loss to the Titans, but quarterback Taylor Heinicke breathed new life into the team when he replaced Desmond Ridder in the second half.
The offense looked much better under Heinicke, who spread the ball around for 175 passing yards and a touchdown. However, while the offense did begin to heat up in the second half, the defense couldn’t stop rookie Will Levis from throwing four touchdowns.
