    Bijan & The Atlanta Falcons Are FOR REAL!!

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Bijan Robinson & The Atlanta Falcons Are FOR REAL according to Skip Bayless & Aqib Talib as Skip & Aqib react to the Atlanta Falcons running all over New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football and debate who is the best team in the NFC South after the Falcons & Carolina Panthers separated themselves in NFL Week 4. Next they react to CeeDee Lamb saying the Dallas Cowboys have an all time great offense following his career day that saw the Cowboys score 28 2nd half points on the Houston Texans and discuss how this explosive offense shakes up the NFC East as the Cowboys schedule gets easier and the injury riddled Philadelphia Eagles head to London to take on the red hot Jacksonville Jaguars. They then react to the NFL handing down serious punishments to the referees caught disrespecting players on Sunday and debate if the suspensions for unprofessional conduct is enough before Skip continues to troll Aqib & TJ on the Denver Broncos offensive struggles, this time highlighting the Broncos first half averages on only 3 points. They then preview the Broncos Week 4 matchup as they head to Los Angeles to take on the 0-4 Los Angeles Chargers and break down what has gone wrong for Justin Herbert and the Chargers amidst this incredibly disappointing start to the season. Finally, TJ reacts to the New England Patriots bouncing back against the Buffalo Bills this weekend and debates if their performance changes his mind after saying Drake Maye and last year's AFC Champions were in big trouble before the crew gives their take on the Minnesota Viking's bizarre season as they sit at 4-0 despite scoring just the 16th most points in the NFL.
