Jim Curtis has opened up about his relationship with Jennifer Aniston and the every day routine he follows when he is with the star in Los Angeles.
In a new interview with The Times, the author shared that he likes to wake up at 7am and do sit-ups in bed. If Jim is based in Los Angeles, he'll make sure to feed Jennifer's three dogs, Clyde, Sophie and Lord Chesterfield, and make coffee. His breakfast consists of a hard-boiled egg or some fruit, followed by meditation and journalling. Jim splits his time between Jennifer's $21 million home in Bel Air and his apartment in New York.
"We take real responsibility to go within and understand and soothe ourselves," Jim said of his and Jennifer's shared spirituality. " So we meditate together. I meditate and I'll say things like 'I'm divinely guided', meaning I don't have to worry, it's all working out."

Jim also shared how his relationship with Jennifer immediately felt different to any past romances. "The drive was more natural, more organic, less needy," he said. "In the past I've felt this idea of, 'I need you to be in love with me …' I wasn't searching for love any more. And what do I feel now? I feel real joy, real presence, real calmness, real partnership."

For 23 years, it has been the world's most annoying sports trivia question: Who's the last American man to win a Grand Slam singles ****** le?
Ben Shelton has always been the one with the ability to change it.
No disrespect to any of the others who have carried the red, white and blue banner for more than two decades across the men's tennis tour since Andy Roddick won his US Open ****** le in 2003. John Isner served his way to millions of dollars and a few nice tournament wins. The likes of Mardy Fish and Sam Querrey did the best they could in the Roger Federer/Rafael Nadal/Novak Djokovic era. Taylor Fritz has worked tirelessly to improve his game and continues to be a factor among the best players in the world.
But there is no divine right for any country, even one as big and athletically successful as the USA, to produce Grand Slam champions in a global sport where only a select few are going to rise to the top. It takes everything: Talent, development, the right set of circumstances and maybe a little bit of luck.
And for Shelton, the 23-year old who was born in Atlanta, raised to be an NCAA champion in Gainesville, Fla., and unleashed onto the world stage by a meticulously patient father/coach, only one more match stands in his way of the ultimate American story.

Both the Steelers and the Falcons have new coaching staffs heading into Week 1. It's safe to say both franchises will be looking to start their new era off on the right foot with a victory. I spoke with Kevin Knight of The Falcoholic to learn a bit about what's new with the Atlanta Falcons.
Kevin Knight: Well, now even Tua Tagovailoa is out of the lineup thanks to an oblique injury suffered during individual drills on Thursday. That means Cooper Rush at the helm (who, in truth, may not be any worse than Tua based on the aforementioned preseason). What you're going to see is a lot of quick game, and as much Bijan Robinson as the team can muster. If Atlanta can run the ball well and get Bijan going, they can score points. So that'll be the plan, with the passing game largely taking a complementary role until Michael Penix Jr. returns.
Kevin Knight: This is a good defense that will have to find ways to manufacture pass rush. Thankfully, Jeff Ulbrich is an evil genius with his blitz packages, and he's got a lot of interesting looks planned. Expect to see a lot of linebacker and slot blitzes to supplement their weaker edge rusher room, along with a lot of emphasis on interior pass rush. Atlanta has a really nice interior duo with Brandon Dorlus (who was leading all interior defensive linemen in the NFC with 8.5 sacks last season before injury) and trade acquisition Gervon Dexter Sr. They're hoping the interior can offset some of their weaknesses outside.
Kevin Knight: I like Kevin Stefanski and think it pretty much takes a miracle worker to extract any amount of success from the Cleveland Browns organization. It does seem like there's a coherent, forward-thinking plan in place for this Falcons team for the first time in years. I don't necessarily expect a lot of success in 2026 based on the moves made to this point and the way the team is structured, but I do expect Atlanta to be one of the most aggressive teams in free agency and the draft in 2027.
Kevin Knight: As I mentioned before, Brandon Dorlus is a borderline-elite interior pass rusher who may also get some run on the edge. Linebacker Divine Deablo was the biggest surprise in last year's free agent class and completely transformed the defense when he was on the field. Second-year safety Xavier Watts was a DROY candidate in 2025 and forms a dynamic duo with veteran Jessie Bates III. Atlanta will be starting two rookies on defense: Avieon Terrell (brother of A.J. Terrell) in the slot, and Kendal Daniels at linebacker. Both impressed in training camp, with Daniels being a particularly pleasant surprise given his Day 3 selection.

Olivia Rodrigo gave Palestinian designer Yasmeen Mjalli a reason to keep going. Mjalli said her fashion brand nearly shut down before Rodrigo's commission. The singer ordered a dress for her Daisy Chain Fields Festival. Mjalli described the opportunity as "divine intervention."
Mjalli founded Nöl Collective in 2020. The Palestinian brand works with women's cooperatives and individual embroiderers. Its designs preserve traditional Palestinian craftsmanship through contemporary clothing. However, operating from the West Bank has created major challenges.
Mjalli said a shipment of handwoven wool was held by Israeli customs. She said authorities eventually destroyed the materials. She then tried sourcing replacement fabric in Jerusalem. However, road closures prevented her from reaching the city.
"I was genuinely like, maybe we should stop, maybe this is our last effort," Mjalli told Vogue Arabia. She said she was "just so tired" after facing repeated obstacles. The situation nearly became the brand's breaking point.
Then Rodrigo commissioned Nöl Collective to create a dress. Mjalli described the commission as "divine intervention." The project gave her a reason to continue despite the challenges.

Among the selection of young players that Manchester City sent out on loan for the 2026-27 season, Divine Mukasa joined West Ham. Mukasa joined the Hammers on a season-long loan. The young attacking midfielder had made three appearances for Nuno Espirito Santo's side before West Ham's Championship fixture against Wolves last night at the London Stadium. By the time that match ended, Mukasa had exploded into life as he scored a spectacular brace to help his team pick up a valuable 4-2 win over Wolves.
West Ham picked up three precious points against Wolverhampton with a 4-2 win at the London Stadium last night. The Hammers weren't at their best, but they came away from the match with a precious three points. Divine Mukasa was the star of the show for West Ham as his brace and overall performance helped inspire his team to victory.
Divine Mukasa opened the scoring for West Ham in the 33rd minute of last night's match. His first goal can only be described as a wonder strike. Mukasa received possession around 25 yards out from goal. He took two touches to steady himself to shoot. Mukasa unleashed an absolute rocket with his right foot which thundered in off the cross bar to give Wolves keeper José St no hope of making a save. Divine Mukasa's goal was one which fully displayed his undoubted talent and poise.
Divine Mukasa would add his second goal of the night in the 53rd minute. Mukasa received the ball just inside the Wolves penalty. He cut inside onto his left foot and his shot took a deflection before hitting the back of the net. Mukasa's second goal of last night's match was a fitting reward for a fine overall display from him.
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo was thrilled with Divine Mukasa's all-round display against Wolves. The West Ham manager was thrilled with Mukasa's work out of possession, his passing and the positions he took up in midfield. He explained after Mukasa starred at the London Stadium last night: "I'm delighted, not only for the goals but the way he played, the positions he took in the middle of the park. He is a young player with a lot of things to improve but I'm delighted to have him."

Once a formidable force in fashion media, Vogue Arabia no longer commands the attention it once did (especially here on theFashionSpot). The last time the ***** le (which arrived with much fanfare and the help of Gigi Hadid in early 2017) truly commanded our attention was a whole six months ago, when Lindsay Lohan was welcomed as a cover girl. Manuel Arnaut, who has served as Vogue Arabia's figurehead since May 2017, invites none other than Cardi B as a cover girl, who features on the September 2026 edition of the magazine. The chart-topping American rapper receives the full Vogue cover treatment for the occasion, posing for the photographer Szilveszter Makó. Across a trio of cover offerings, the Grammy Award-winning talent showcases creations from Rahul Mishra, Georges Hobeika, Loewe and Alaïa.

"I didn't expect it, but I kinda like this 'short-lived marriage to a minor royal' mood," immediately approved tigerrouge upon first look.
"I am not a fan of Cardi B, but she looks beautiful in this photo shoot. The cover with the black evening dress is divine," MModa confessed.
"Y'all, this might be my favorite September issue this year. Solid cover, great editorial, and unexpected fashion with a capital 'F'," enthused Lucien112.

10 years ago, the Atlanta Falcons took the NFL by the blindside, going on a roll through the NFC playoffs and making it all the way to the Super Bowl. While Matt Ryan, Kyle Shanahan and their league-best scoring offense gets most of the credit, Atlanta wouldn't have won the conference without the contributions of four rookie starters on defense.
If the Falcons are going to prove all the negative narratives wrong in 2026, they could definitely use some surprise contributions from their rookie class. It sounds like at least one rookie is in the mix to start on defense.
According to Marc Raimondi at ESPN, the team's fourth-round draft pick, former Oklahoma linebacker Kendal Daniels has a legitimate shot to wind up starting next to Divine Deablo.
"The Falcons have trusted him with the green dot at times this summer because of injuries, and Daniels has a legitimate shot at starting at inside linebacker alongside Divine Deablo."
Daniels has looked impressive during the preseason, establishing a physical style and showing sharp instincts against the run. Daniels may not be the only rookie linebacker to see significant playing time in 2026, though. Here's what Raimondi had to say about sixth-round pick, linebacker Harold Perkins Jr. out of LSU.

The Chicago White Sox are having a pretty magical season. Despite losing more than 100 games in each of the last three seasons, the ChiSox suddenly find themselves in first-place in the AL Central with fewer than 30 games remaining.
It amost feels like too quick a turnaround. This team would've needed multiple high-end acquisitions or multiple elite prospects to graduate. They've certainly had a few between Colson Montgomery, Braden Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami, but it didn't seem like that would be enough to turn around what has been a basement-dwelling franchise in just one year.
It's almost like ... they've been the beneficiaries of divine intervention.
On Thursday, Aug. 27, the team gave renowned fan and Chicago native Pope Leo XIV his own White Sox-branded mitre (the tall, ceremonial hat worn by the Pope), a solid offering to someone who perhaps was sending daily prayers to his favorite franchise.

The Atlanta Falcons beat up the Indianapolis Colts like they owed them money in Friday's 34-6 preseason win, dominating on both offense and defense in a game that featured few starters on either side. Despite it being a preseason game, Atlanta's young players gave the coaches plenty to think about one week from roster cut day.
Several rookies stood out, including linebacker Kendal Daniels, running back Cash Jones and quarterback Jack Strand. Daniels has been ascending over the last few weeks as he competes for the other starting linebacker job next to Divine Deablo.
The former fourth-round pick earned an elite Pro Football Focus grade in Saturday's preseason blowout against the Colts. Daniels' 90.1 grade was the third-highest overall score on the team.
Unfortunately, Daniels was outdone by his primary competition for a starting job. Linebacker Christian Harris earned a 90.8 to lead all defensive players in the game. Check out the team's top-five defensive PFF grades below.
LB Christian Harris: 90.8

Here are five story lines to watch going into the 2026 prep football season.
5. Will Jackson Lumen Christi head coach Herb Brogan surpass John Herrington as the state's all-time winningest coach?
In his 47th season as head coach, Brogan enters with 432 career wins, which is 11 behind Herrington, the former Farmington Hills Harrison legendary head coach. Brogan surpassed former Birmingham Brother Rice head coach Al Fracassa for second on the all-time list last year. Last season, Lumen Christi went 11-3 in adding to its state record total of 15 state championships.
If Lumen Christi repeats that win total, Brogan will tie Herrington. There are games against bigger schools like Toledo Central Catholic, Toledo St. Francis De Sales, Detroit Country Day and Dearborn Divine Child, but if Lumen Christi can win at least two of those, avoid slip-ups in other games and go on another championship run, it's possible Brogan could celebrate breaking the record and a state championship at the same time in November at Ford Field.

LSU men's basketball made an addition to its roster on Friday. According to a report from On3, Donovan Dent committed to the Tigers. The former UCLA guard was one of 73 players in California granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA, allowing him to play for a fifth year.
The addition is arguably the biggest since head coach Will Wade came to Baton Rouge. Dent fills an immediate need at the starting point guard spot for the upcoming season. He averaged 13.3 points and 7.6 ******* ists last year, his only one with the Bruins.
Dent played his first three seasons of college basketball at New Mexico. He filled a critical reserve role as a true freshman before becoming a full-time starter. Over his four seasons, he averages 13.4 points per game on 48% shooting from the field and 33% from three-point range.
Should Dent's signing go through, LSU would have five players on its roster. Divine Ugochukwu, Abdi Bashir, Austin Nunez, and Mouhamed Dioubate are the only players listed on the team website. Wade landed other commitments, but they're awaiting eligibility decisions.

West Ham have completed the loan signing of attacking midfielder Divine Mukasa from Manchester City.
The 18-year-old joins on a straight loan with no buy option, becoming West Ham's sixth summer signing, rejoining the club where he began his career.
He follows Keiber Lamadrid, Joël Veltman, Manor Solomon, Arne Engels and striker Joël Piroe.
Upon rejoining the club, Mukasa said, "I'm so excited to be back. Just excited to get playing again, really. Once I heard of the opportunity to come back, it was a no-brainer for me. "I grew up in Dagenham, probably about 20-25 minutes from here (Rush Green training ground). My first football team was Euro Dagenham. That's where it all started for me before coming to West Ham.
"I was born around here and have grown up in the Academy and spent nearly ten years there."

A big unknown this season for the Atlanta Falcons is their linebacker unit. Divine Deablo will lead the group, having inherited the green dot role from Kaden Elliss, now back with the New Orleans Saints.
Aside from that, it's difficult to say how this unit will look in 2026.
On paper, Christian Harris looks like the other starter at this position, but that's far from certain. The Falcons do have two promising rookies who may eventually inherit big roles for Atlanta's defense, in Oklahoma's Kendal Daniels and LSU's Harold Perkins.
Daniels and Perkins made their NFL debuts this past Friday night against the Denver Broncos, and Perkins was mic'd up for the occasion. Watch.
Perkins (6-foot-1, 222 pounds) totaled five interceptions, 10 pass breakups, eight forced fumbles, 17 sacks and 220 combined tackles (35.5 for a loss) during his time at LSU.

The Chicago White Sox have been one of the best stories in baseball this year. Just two years after going 41-121 and breaking the MLB's single-season loss record, Chicago has been in first place in the AL Central since early July.
Pitcher Mike Vasil is out for the season due to Tommy John surgery, but he's helped his squad defy expectations from the dugout with his magic-wand skills. Vasil's magic may just be the result of divine intervention, as Pope Leo XIV, who ascended to the papacy on May 8, 2025, is a Chicago-area native and diehard White Sox fan.
"We got a pope, and we got a wizard. We have a lot of good luck on our side," star shortstop Colson Montgomery said on Sunday. "Anything to get the fans excited for all that stuff is fun."
The Sox delivered that excitement for fans on Tuesday, honoring His Holiness with a "Pope Hat Night" giveaway for the Sox' game against the Cincinnati Reds. Initially intended for just the first 2,500 fans, all 38,113 attendees of the Rate Field sellout crowd were gifted a complimentary Sox-themed pope hat.
Chicago went all out for the night's festivities, and the CHSN broadcast did its best to keep up, starting with Sister Mary Jo Sobieck of the Dominican Sisters of Springfield "doing her thing," as play-by-play voice John Schriffen noted, and throwing out the first pitch.

CHICAGO – The White Sox beating the Cincinnati Reds this week in Chicago? There isn't a bigger sure thing in sports, right?
Come on. Is the pope Catholic?
More to the point, is the pope a White Sox fan from Chicago?
As if that kind of divine firepower doesn't already suggest some kind of winged ***** ist from above for the White Sox's sudden ascent into playoff contention this year after averaging 108 losses the past three, the White Sox promotions department rubbed it in with the Reds' arrival to town for a series.
They brought out a nun for the ceremonial first pitch of the series and gave away "pope hats" to fans who shrugged off inclement weather forecasts to produce only the ninth sellout of the season at the Sox ballpark with 38,000 Pope Leo impersonators wearing their new hats for the beer-boosted, fun-loving – if perhaps a tad sacrilegious – promotion.

Kate Beckinsale is opening up about the grief and health issues she says have contributed to changes in her appearance after receiving negative comments about her weight online.
The 53-year-old actress shared several messages she's received from social media users in a post on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, Aug. 8, while explaining why she had deleted all of her other posts, according to People.
"Loosen up the Ozampic !! You were divine and now you look anorexic!" read one message the "Underworld" actress shared.
Beckinsale said her weight has been affected in part by grief following the death of her mother, actress Judy Loe, who died of cancer in July 2025. Her stepfather, director Roy Battersby, died in January 2024.

Atlanta banking on Bates-Watts tandem to spark more takeaways in 2026 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Atlanta Falcons believe they have one of the NFL's premier safety tandems, and veteran linebacker Divine Deablo isn't shy about saying it.
Speaking during training camp, Deablo praised the pairing of Jessie Bates III and rising star Xavier Watts, calling them the best safety duo in football. It's a bold statement, but one the Falcons hope will prove true as they enter the 2026 season with one of the league's most talented defenses.
Bates has already established himself as one of the NFL's elite defensive backs. Since arriving in Atlanta, he has consistently been the leader of the secondary, combining outstanding instincts with the ability to create game-changing turnovers.
The excitement, however, continues to grow around Watts.

The Atlanta Falcons have a few big question marks on defense as they prepare for their preseason opener next week. With linebacker Jalon Walker officially out for the season due to a torn ACL, and James Pearce Jr. facing a possible suspension, Atlanta's pass rush may have trouble replicating last year's success.
The team has gone through its first seven training camp practices, but there are a few other starting spots on defense that remain unsettled. Billy Bowman Jr. is on the active PUP list as he works his way back from an Achilles injury, while Zach Harrison is on the active non-football injury list.
The Falcons are still working out their nickel rotation, and considering the severity of Bowman's injury, I could see the team being cautious with their projected starter going into Week 1. Even though I believe rookie Avieon Terrell will ultimately play on the outside, it wouldn't surprise me if he fills in for Bowman to start the season.
Harrison is not dealing with as severe of an injury, and I think he could be cleared by Week 1. At linebacker, Divine Deablo is set to wear the green dot, but there's still some uncertainty at the other starting spot.
Christian Harris appears to be the first in line, but don't sleep on rookies Kendal Daniels or Harold Perkins for this spot. With all of that said, here's a look at our projected Week 1 starting lineup for the Falcons defense.

#injury #starting

The Atlanta Falcons are taking training camp to another level this week. On Monday, the players put on pads for the first time and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa took a step in the right direction as he recovers from a minor back injury.
Even though the team is easing Tagovailoa back into the mix, he made progress by competing in 11-on-11s to begin the week. Michael Penix Jr. remains limited to 7-on-7 drills, but he clearly isn't taking the competition lightly in the meantime.
The former Washington Huskies QB made a perfect throw for a long touchdown to rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch, who ****** ody seems to have an answer for. Meanwhile, rookie Jack Strand is making the most of his QB1 reps and earning the respect of his teammates along the way.
The Falcons have been rotating players at a few key positions on defense, including the nickel and inside linebacker spots. It will be interesting to see who ultimately starts next to Divine Deablo, but Christian Harris seems like the most likely candidate for Jeff Ulbrich's base defense at the moment.
Watch highlights from Monday's padded practice, as shared by the Falcons' YouTube channel - along with some additional clips that we've rounded from social media below.

If ever Muzzy Donohue needed to center himself on Friday at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, he simply looked down at his ball marker and the memory of his late grandma Marcey snapped him back into focus.
"We've been talking about our grandma and how she's been with us," said Donohue, a 25-year-old former graduate of St. Thomas Academy, who is playing the 3M Open this week on a sponsor's exemption. "She passed away on Monday."
As hard as it's been on the whole family to lose its matriarch, Donohue said he couldn't help but feel like some divine intervention was at play as he shot an impressive 8-under 63 to make the cut in his PGA Tour debut.
There were a number of putts that Donohue either pushed or pulled that somehow found their way into the back of the cup. He's operating as if he's had somebody looking down on him from above.
"Yes, 100%," Donohue said. "Hopefully, she's not sick of me and will stick around."

After 246 years, Pvt. John Pumphrey is unknown no more.
Through DNA testing and old-fashioned sleuthing, the Maryland teenager who died in one of the last big battles of the American Revolution can now take his place in history, just in time for the 250th birthday of the nation he fought to create.
"There was a sense of divine timing, I guess," said Allison Peacock, founder of FHD Forensics, a company that helped with the search. "I don't know what else you want to call it."
Pumphrey died Aug. 16, 1780, at the Battle of Camden, South Carolina. It was one of the Continental Army's most devastating defeats, where British Gen. Charles Lord Cornwallis routed patriot forces under Maj. Gen. Horatio Gates.
Many of the 900 killed were left where they fell, abandoned to the predations of wild animals, South Carolina's scorching heat and its ruinous humidity.

The Atlanta Falcons were somewhat careless with their money during the last few seasons under former general manager Terry Fontenot. While fans will likely never get over the team giving Kirk Cousins $100 million before drafting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. one month later, Fontenot had some free-agent hits as well.
The Falcons signed star safety Jessie Bates III, who has been stellar over three seasons in Atlanta. Those around the league scoffed after the team signed Divine Deablo last year, but the veteran linebacker was among the best defensive players on the roster.
Cornerback Mike Hughes has been solid and Darnell Mooney looked like a steal after his first season with the team. However, current Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham was hamstrung by the mistakes Fontenot made, and could only sign bargain-level free agents in the offseason.
Cunningham has done a good job of retaining talent, though. He extended both Drake London and Kyle Pitts, which brought Atlanta's salary cap ******* e up to $37.9 million.
After looking at the Falcons' top-paid offensive players yesterday, here's a look at the team's 10 highest-paid defensive players based of their 2026 salary cap hits (all numbers via Over The Cap).

Failed Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt seethed about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as he ranted about the evils of communism on social media Saturday.
In a five-and-a-half-minute video staged in the ruins of his home in Pacific Palisades, California, which burned down in the Pacific Palisades fires last year, Pratt called Mamdani a "vile commie."

Wearing a shirt that said "anti socialists social club," Pratt criticized the progressive's Fourth of July speech marking America's 250th anniversary, as he raged that, "We all had to sit and watch that vile, commie mayor sit on the wrong side of our founding father's desk to try to lecture us about our own history."
In his speech, Mamdani rebuked the right's anti-immigration stance while outlining an inclusive vision of patriotism as he sat at a desk that once belonged to President George Washington surrounded by 10 newly naturalized American citizens.

The Lionel Messi World Cup obits were starting to be written. It’s a good bet that some were finalized. Egypt led Argentina 2-0 in a World Cup quarterfinal Tuesday afternoon, in the 79th minute. A new World Cup champion would be crowned. Fold Cristiano Ronaldo into the piece. On back-to-back days, the two defining players of the past 20 years would exit the World Cup stage, most likely for good, given their ages. End of an era.
Idiots. (Present company included.) All scribes who had to scrap their stories got what they deserved. Haven’t we all watched enough of Messi in our lifetime?
An amazing, wondrous Argentina comeback unfolded on the pitch in Atlanta. And as well as Egypt played in almost pulling off a monumental upset, and as sympathetic we can all feel for the players and fans of the Pharaohs, Messi’s continued presence at this World Cup, after that breathtaking 3-2 Argentina victory on Tuesday, feels like divine intervention.
At age 39, Messi now has eight goals in this World Cup, more than any other player entering the quarterfinals. He started the tournament off with his first career World Cup hat trick and has now bookended his effort with a goal that, if Argentina should go on to win back-to-back World Cups, will be revered in Buenos Aires and beyond for generations.
Yasser Ibrahim scored for Egypt in the 15th minute to give the Pharaohs the early advantage. Egypt keeper Mostafa Shoubir denied Messi a penalty kick goal in the 21st minute, making Messi the first player to miss two penalties in the same tournament (excluding shoot-outs). Despite that setback, Argentina kept knocking on the door going into halftime. But some stellar saves from Shoubir kept the Pharaohs ahead.

The Atlanta Falcons have a few big question marks entering the 2026 NFL season, but their roster isn't short on talent. In terms of skill position players, it doesn't get much better than the trio of running back Bijan Robinson, wide receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts.
The three former top-10 picks have accomplished quite a bit in a short amount of time. Defensively, the Falcons have some heavy hitters as well. James Pearce Jr. and Xavier Watts were Defensive Rookie of the Year finalists last season, while defensive tackle Brandon Dorlus broke out with 8.5 sacks.
Savvy veterans like Divine Deablo, A.J. Terrell and Jessie Bates round out a rapidly improving defense. The biggest question mark is at quarterback, and unfortunately for Atlanta, that's a pretty important position in the NFL.
The Falcons' uncertainty at QB continues to hurt the perception around this team. ESPN ranked all 32 NFL rosters based on their starting projected starting lineups in 2026. Atlanta landed way down near the bottom, tying for No. 29 with the Arizona Cardinals.
"The eighth pick in 2024, Penix has yet to emerge as a capable starter, totaling 14 touchdown passes in 14 games while struggling with accuracy," wrote ESPN's Mike Clay. "He tore his left ACL in Week 11 last season and now has added competition in Tagovailoa. The former Dolphin has flashed at times during his career, but Miami took on a record $99 million in dead money to move on from him after a disappointing 2025 season."
