00:00We give some credit to the Falcons defense at this point, like, are they good?

00:07Was I crazy?

00:08I mean, Bates coming in hot, Justin Simmons being able to pick off Patrick Mahomes and

00:12making it look like something he's just going to do every season and without a problem.

00:16I mean, is it time to finally say the Falcons have found a rhythm with their defense?

00:21I think they have.

00:22And you know what I said previewing the Monday night game was like the Falcons defense in

00:28week one, like all things considered, like they looked pretty good.

00:31Like they held the Steelers to no touchdowns and it was all Chris Boswell knocking down

00:35field goals.

00:36I had granted, you know, it was Justin Fields there, a new quarterback, our quarterback

00:40on a new team, I should say.

00:42So they held them to no touchdowns.

00:43They were good against Philly at times.

00:45They obviously stepped up to, you know, control things in the second half and they were like

00:49pretty good against the Chiefs.

00:50So like we're on the right track or you, I should say you were on the right track about

00:54the Falcons and their defense.

00:56Now they have to like have a full defensive effort and a full offensive effort for four

01:00quarters all at the same time.

01:02And then they can put together some wins.

01:04Yeah.

01:05And you did mention that.

01:06And I will say, I think that after, you know, with the offense not being able to help contribute

01:09to a win and the team actually losing, it kind of overshadowed what the defense was

01:13capable of.

01:14So that's a great way to put that in sense of we've got weeks ahead of us, but I think

01:17they lived up very much to the hype and showed that they are going to be a defense to contend

01:20with.

01:21It was a lot of fun watching this Sunday night football matchup.
