The Atlanta Falcons are pretty good at this whole Twitter thing.
The San Francisco 49ers benched starting quarterback Colin Kaepernick on Monday night and are turning to backup Blaine Gabbert for their Week 9 matchup against the Falcons. Rumor has it they held off on making the move until they faced Atlanta, which garnered an appropriately short reaction from the Falcons.
The whole situation is pretty hilarious, and the Falcons’ response really says it all in only one word. Atlanta’s pass defense is far from great, but overall, it’s plenty capable of stopping Gabbert and his 66.8 career passer rating.
Not to mention, the report shows how much faith the Niners have in their backup if they only trust him in ideal matchups.
