The Atlanta Falcons next defensive task is to stop Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
will face their first rookie quarterback of the Raheem Morris era in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. But with half a season of experience, Nix isn't the raw rookie he was just two months ago.
On Tuesday, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris addressed the challenges Nix will present his defense in Week 11. "He's feisty. He's got an edge to him. He's not afraid to use his legs. He's learning every single day. He's got a growth mindset about him. He's got a coordinator and head coach that I got so much respect for. I've been able to go against those guys for years.Although the Broncos suffered their second straight loss Sunday , Nix was very sharp against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Whether it's pressure in the traditional sense or tackling a rookie quarterback running around behind the line of scrimmage, the Falcons could use more sacks. The Falcons had 1 or zero sacks for the eighth time this season in the Week 10 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
