Earlier today on The Morning Shift, Mike Johnson, Ali Mac, and Beau Morgan reacted to the Atlanta Falcons 20-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday in Pittsburgh in their first game of the regular season, talked about how Falcons third string quarterback Cooper Rush played badly, but also talk about how nobody around him besides running back Bijan Robinson helped him out much either.

“A lot of people are gonna be talking bad about Cooper Rush and it’s not that he played great, but nobody around him aside from Bijan Robinson really helped and Bijan with a couple of fumbles didn’t really help that much either when you look at the grand scheme of things.” Mike Johnson said
