How is the Atlanta Falcons’ wide receiver group looking entering 2016? Is Dan Quinn and Matt Ryan the league’s worst head coach/quarterback combination? That and more in the Dirty Bird Daily.

Good morning, Falcons fans. Do you ever wake up in the morning and crave a Julio Jones touchdown? Or a 60-yard Devonta Freeman run? Maybe Vic Beasley recording his 10th sack on the season? Yes, I get these cravings every morning.

As you sip your coffee this fine Wednesday morning, enjoy these Falcons articles from around the internet.
