Falcons Host Maulers in Week 5 Clash Starting Thursday Night

Entering Week 5 at 2-2 after our 141.7 to 123.9 Week 4 loss to Astra Aces, we return home to host the 3-1 Mistral Maulers. The contest opens immediately on Thursday, October 8 at 8:15 PM EDT, where our starting running back Bucky Irving and the Maulers' flex receiver Chris Godwin share the field in Tampa Bay. While our opponent brings heavy projected production at running back with Jonathan Taylor and Kyren Williams, we expect Josh Allen to provide the decisive firepower under center to tilt the matchup in our favor. Protecting home turf this week is essential to pushing our record back above .500.
