ESPN predicts huge honor for Falcons defender

The Atlanta Falcons have finally named their starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. As expected, it's Tua Tagovailoa - even though the job is basically his by default because Michael Penix still isn't ready for game action. There are two other options on the roster, which speaks to how bad things are.

The QB situation is a bummer, but if you're a Falcons fan looking for reasons to be excited about this coming season, the back end of Jeff Ulbrich's defense is a great place to start.
