Falcons QB Streak Hits Crisis Point | Atlanta Falcons News

The Atlanta Falcons are stuck in quarterback purgatory, having cycled through six different starters in their last six season openers since Matt Ryan’s departure — the longest active streak in the NFL. With Tua Tagovailoa set to start this Sunday, expectations are low: he’ll need a miracle to break the cycle and earn a long-term deal. Even if Michael Penix Jr. returns strong, it won’t end the streak — it’s about consecutive seasons with different QBs. An average season would be disastrous, leaving them without a clear franchise leader and outside the top draft picks. The silver lining? Next year’s draft is loaded with elite talent like Arch Manning, Dante Moore, and CJ Carr — landing one could finally snap this ugly run. Unless Tua pulls off the impossible, this streak looks destined to continue. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
