	Description:		Rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder earned his first win, lifting the Atlanta Falcons to a 20-19 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17 thanks a walk-off field goal from kicker Younghoe Koo. Ridder was efficient throughout and made a couple of clutch throws on critical downs to help move the offense and set up the game-winning score. Was that the blueprint for him taking over as the full-time starter in 2023? Aaron Freeman breaks down why he thinks it’s a hopeful sign of things to come. He breaks down why the Falcons problems aren’t about how high they’re picking in the draft, or based around who is under center, or that they’re one player away. He looks at the defensive struggles against the David Blough-led Cardinals offense to talk about areas that need improvement this offseason: pass rush, run defense, and secondary play. Finally, he discusses positives from the run game, special teams, and whether or not the College Football Playoff showcased a couple of #FutureFalcons.
