To start rest of season Coach Arthur Smith announced Wednesday that the Falcons plan to play out the remainder of the 2023 season with Heinicke as the starting quarterback, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com r... Impact Heinicke is set to start Atlanta's final three regular-season games against the Colts, Bears and Saints, with Desmond Ridder presumably on hand to operate as his backup. In Heinicke's only full game this season, a Week 9 loss to the Vikings, he completed 21 of 38 pass attempts for 268 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
