Falcons set NFL record with four quarterbacks throwing interceptions
Summary

During a 30-23 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens on October 12, 2026, the Atlanta Falcons made an unwanted mark in NFL history.

Tua Tagovailoa, Cooper Rush, Jack Strand, and Michael Penix Jr. each contributed to this record, reflecting the team's struggles at quarterback this year.
