Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III have dominated NFL headlines as young quarterbacks on the rise. NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas expects Cam Newton to upstage them all in 2013. "Call it bouncing back, breaking t...

With the release of right tackle Tyson Clabo and the retirement of center Todd McClure, the Atlanta Falcons have a lot of uncertainty on their offensive line. Coach Mike Smith didn't set forth any concrete plan Thursday night at the team's State o...

Without locking into any time frame, Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said he's confident a contract extension will be worked out with quarterback Matt Ryan. Dimitroff was asked by a fan for a status update during Thursday night's ...
