The Atlanta Falcons have had some pretty great wide receivers in their history. Alfred Jenkins, Andre Rison and Terrance Mathis all spring readily to mind.
Roddy White may have surpassed all of them already, and he certainly added a bullet point to resume with tonight's game against the Dallas Cowboys. White caught seven passes for 118 yards in the game, and that was enough to propel him past Mathis for the all-time receptions record.
It's quite an honor for White, who turned an disappointing start to his career into an eye-popping string of seasons. Source: SBNation.com Attached Thumbnails

Its 11 am MST on a day after the Atlanta Falcons beat the disoriented Dallas Cowboys to go 8-0 for the first time in their franchise history, and the Falcons still aren’t getting any respect. And I’m not about to give them any respect either. At least not now. Just an “Atta Boy”!

He's not one of the league's elite backs anymore but Turner is still a serviceable flex or RB2 option for fantasy owners.

There is an energy, a cluster of defensive backs each talking over one another. They are an enthusiastic bunch, as players on winning football teams are wont to be, reveling in jokes made funnier via victory. The laughter grows louder with every win.

The competent, pre-implosion Cowboys are on hand for the usual November of stoking expectations before the inevitable downfall of December. Not that they’re blowing the Falcons away. But it seems that this game will at least be competitive to the very end, which is something you couldn’t expect out of the Cowboys at their derpiest.
