The Falcons travel to Arizona looking to break a two-game skid against the Cardinals Sunday.
Taylor Heinicke will start for Atlanta again following his first game in the Falcons loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. Heinicke likened this Sunday's game in Arizona to the Falcons Super Bowl as Atlanta hopes to get back in the win column ahead of the bye week.
