The Falcoholic on Cooper Rush

Rush's 0-for-5 on deep throws (1 INT) crippled Falcons' intermediate/deep passing game.

Playing Cooper Rush was unwise; his longest completion in air yards was 5 yards, and on throws exceeding 5 air yards he went 0-for-5 with an interception. The intermediate and deep areas of the field were inaccessible all afternoon, making the passing game repetitive and allowing defenses to time up screen plays for touchdowns. The source states the decision to start Rush cut the Falcons offense off at the knees.
