Rush Struggles, Strand Surprises in Falcons QB Battle | Atlanta Falcons News

The Atlanta Falcons’ QB battle just got real: while everyone’s watching the top two, rookie Jack Strand is stealing the spotlight. In a brutal 27-7 preseason loss, veteran Cooper Rush looked lost—throwing two picks, including a 97-yard pick-six—and went 7-of-19 for 62 yards. Meanwhile, undrafted Strand, playing with third-stringers, led the team’s only TD on a one-yard run and completed 6-of-12 passes for 50 yards. With Rush struggling even with better talent around him, Strand’s performance suggests he’s already ahead in the QB3 race.
