This week in Falcons talk

The shows spent most of the week breaking down Atlanta's loss to Chicago, where the Bears' defense was dominant and Caleb Williams had a near-perfect game, leaving the Falcons' defense looking undisciplined and the offense struggling to move the ball. Now looking ahead to San Francisco coming to town, the talk centers on whether the Niners are as good as their record suggests given some injuries, while the Falcons get a chance to show they can bounce back at home against a banged-up visitor.
