00:02 Moving down the list here, guys,
00:05 we got the Texans and the Falcons up next here, Scott.
00:09 And I'll tell ya, we saw the Falcons look pretty good today.
00:12 I mean, getting some good play
00:14 out of the quarterback position.
00:16 And they win this game 21 to 19.
00:19 They cover by the slimmest of margins,
00:21 the one and a half, 41 and a half,
00:23 right next to the total as well.
00:25 So the odds maker's very near being on point on this one,
00:29 but either way, the Dirty Birds win it.
00:31 What'd you take away from Atlanta today?
00:34 - Yeah, you know, I tell ya, more so than Atlanta,
00:37 I think Houston just with CJ Stroud, another good game.
00:41 You know, they were down late in the game.
00:43 They had a gazillion chances, I will say that.
00:45 They had to kick like 5,000 field goals.
00:48 But they were down, ultimately they were down
00:50 after they fell behind to Atlanta.
00:55 And Stroud led them down the field
00:58 and put 'em in a position.
00:59 They took the lead and that's great.
01:02 You know, if you're a CJ Stroud and Texans fan,
01:05 but then Desmond Ritter actually did the same thing.
01:08 You know, final minute and a half,
01:09 drove the team down the field.
01:11 Ritter throws for over 300 yards
01:12 for the first time in his career.
01:14 And the Falcons come away with a two-point win
01:16 as Kou hits a 37-yard field goal at the buzzer.
01:20 So, you know, both teams two and two.
01:22 You know, I don't think this Houston team's gonna be
01:25 as bad as I thought at two and three.
01:27 They very easily could have won this game.
01:28 Like I said, they had numerous opportunities.
01:30 But give credit to the Falcons.
01:32 I really did like Atlanta in this game, Drew.
01:34 The only little caveat was that they played
01:37 in London last week and they didn't take the bye week,
01:40 obviously, and I just didn't know.
01:41 It's a long, long, long trip, right?
01:45 Teams have the option to take the bye.
01:47 They decided not to, so that made me a little leery.
01:50 But I thought this was a difficult spot for Houston
01:53 after playing so well last week
01:54 and expectations and everything.
01:57 And they actually played better than I thought they would.
01:59 So I give them credit, even though they lost the game.
