Are the Falcons Actually Good? with The Athletic's Tori McElhaney

Aaron is joined by The Athletic's Tori McElhaney to recap the Atlanta Falcons' Week 9 win over the Denver Broncos and break down the decision to waive DE Takk McKinley.

Tori shares her thoughts on why the Falcons decided to part ways with their former 1st-round pick in McKinley before diving into her thoughts on the Broncos win. She discusses which players stepped up in a major way, and whether or not the Falcons can count on them to continue to play at a high level after their bye week. They then discuss whether or not the Falcons' recent success has more to do with the quality of their competition.
