The highly anticipated matchup between the Falcons and Steelers is set for this Sunday at 1PM EST. Both teams have been working all offseason to prepare for this contest and are bringing their full compliment of star plays with them. Russell Wilson is tabbed to start for the Steelers and Falcons fans will get their first sample of Kirk Cousins after he sat on the sidelines during the preseason.

Coach Raheem Morris joined Dukes & Bell Wednesday for the first of his weekly visits during the regular season. Morris has brought a new energy and enthusiasm to a club that also added star players in Matthew Judon and Justin Simmons in recent weeks to bolster the defense.

The anticipation and expectations for the 2024 campaign are higher than they have been in several seasons. The chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and take the NFC South crown are on the line beginning on Sunday.
