15+ min ago (417+ words) The Atlanta Falcons might have lost in Week 13, but that didn't stop their social media team from being the winners of the afternoon. After David Sills V scored a touchdown for the second consecutive week, the Falcons took their opportunity to stir the pot with their fanbase on Twitter. With the expanded action for the veteran wideout, it saw the Dirty Birds turn to an adequate Drake London replacement in the 27-24 loss to the New York Jets.

30+ min ago (405+ words) Trae Young has been branded as "not a winning player" for the bulk of his career. Whether this criticism is fair or unfair remains to be seen until he proves he can elevate a team built around him to postseason success. The Athletic published an article in which three writers answered questions about the unexpected shape of the Eastern Conference, with teams like the Pistons and Raptors occupying the top seeds. When asked which team was the most fraudulent, however, two of the three authors nominated the Hawks. The common reasoning? A lack of trust in Young. Young is perhaps the most polarizing star in the league, with some contrarians arguing he shouldn't be considered a star at all. At the same time, their counterparts point to Young's impressive statistical track record and see an underrated offensive engine." The truth…...
