A.J. Terrell Jr. - Grabs another pick vs. Bucs Terrell recorded seven total tackles (six solo) and one interception in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers.
Impact The Clemson product finished tied as the Falcons' second-leading tackler Sunday, trailing only Kaden Elliss' 11-stop effort. Terrell was also one of two Falcons to pick off Baker Mayfield in Week 8, intercepting a pass in the fourth quarter to help Atlanta maintain a two-score lead. The 26-year-old corner is expected to continue making plays for the Falcons' defense in Week 9, when the Cowboys come to Atlanta.

Jessie Bates III - Nabs pick in Week 8 Bates recorded five total tackles (three solo) and one interception in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers.
Impact The veteran safety picked off Baker Mayfield on the Buccaneers' first drive coming out of half time, bringing his season total up to two interceptions. Bates has also accumulated 50 total tackles, four passes defended and three forced fumbles through Atlanta's first eight games. He's expected to continue starting alongside Justin Simmons as part of one of the the best safety duos in the NFL ahead of Week 9, when the Falcons host the Cowboys.

Kaden Elliss - Double-digit tackles Sunday Elliss recorded 11 total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers.
Impact Elliss has now led the Falcons' defense in total tackles in back-to-back weeks, accumulating 21 stops across Atlanta's last two contests. The Idaho product has logged 65 total tackles and one pass defended through the Falcons' first eight games this season. He's expected to continue making plays as the Falcons host the Cowboys in Week 9.

Troy Andersen - Looks iffy for Week 9 Head coach Raheem Morris stated Monday that Andersen (knee) is still day-to-day, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Andersen practiced in a limited fashion throughout Week 8 prep but ultimately was unable to suit up Sunday against Tampa Bay. His current day-to-day status implies his Week 9 availability is still up in the air, as the Montana State product works to return from a now four-game absence.

Darnell Mooney - Paces air attack in win Mooney brought in five of seven targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Impact Mooney led the Falcons in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while recording a touchdown for the fourth time this season on a perfectly timed 30-yard pass from Kirk Cousins late in the second quarter. Mooney has remained healthy and turned into a steady contributor in coordinator Zac Robinson's offense, a welcome change from his previous two seasons with the Bears following an encouraging start to his career. Mooney will next take aim at the Cowboys in a Week 9 home matchup.

Drake London - Limited to four catches in win London brought in four of six targets for 34 yards in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Impact Unlike a Week 5 breakout when he posted a season-best 12-154-1 line against these same Bucs, London was limited to his second-lowest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season. The third-year pro also saw his six-game streak with at least six receptions snapped, and a three-game stretch with at least one receiving touchdown met the same fate. London's first chance to regroup comes in a Week 9 home matchup against the Cowboys.

Kyle Pitts - Two touchdown grabs in win Pitts secured four of five targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Impact Pitts finished just a catch and yard short of team leader Darnell Mooney, but the talented tight end continued to generate the type of production befitting his vast skill set. Pitts struck from 36 and 49 yards out in the first and second quarters, respectively, with Antoine Winfield stripping the ball from a a relaxed Pitts just after the latter had broken the plane of the goal line. The 2021 first-round pick's yardage tally was a new season high, and he's now been at 65 yards or more in four consecutive contests heading into a Week 9 home battle against the Cowboys.

Bijan Robinson - Hits 100 total yards in win Robinson rushed 13 times for 63 yards and secured all six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Impact Robinson logged just one more carry than backfield mate Tyler Allgeier but outgained him by 30 rushing yards, and he also was the only one of the two to be involved in the passing game. Robinson's reception total was a season high, and he also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the campaign on a six-yard grab late in the third quarter. The timeshare in the Falcons' backfield continues to be a source of consternation for fantasy managers, but Robinson's robust receiving role continues to afford him a solid floor heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Cowboys.

Kirk Cousins - Punishes Buccaneers again Sunday Cousins completed 23 of 29 passes for 276 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed three times for 16 yards in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunda...
Impact Cousins had burned the Buccaneers for four scoring tosses during a memorable overtime victory in Week 5, but with Tampa Bay down both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR-knee) on Sunday, the veteran signal-caller wasn't expected to have to be overly aggressive through the air. No one informed the feisty Buccaneers, which kept Cousins engaged through the air for all four quarters and facilitated another stellar performance in the process. Cousins connected with Kyle Pitts for touchdown tosses of 36 and 49 yards before adding 30- and six-yard scoring strikes to Darnell Mooney and Bijan Robinson, respectively. The veteran signal-caller has at least one touchdown pass in four straight games, and he next takes aim at the Cowboys' inconsistent defense in a Week 9 home matchup.

Chris Lindstrom - Could have returned vs. Bucs Lindstrom (knee) was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Lindstrom was cleared to return in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game after being evaluated by trainers for a knee injury. However, the Falcons' coaches opted to keep Kyle Hinton at right guard for the remainder of the contest. Given his clearance, Lindstrom should be able to suit up against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Ruke Orhorhoro - Won't return vs. Tampa Bay Orhorhoro (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Impact Orhorhoro suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game and appeared to have trouble putting pressure on his left leg. Grady Jarrett and Zach Harrison will be the Falcons' rotational defensive ends for the rest of Sunday's game.
