Matchup context

The game Atlanta Falcons plays next · 2025 regular season · rosters checked September 7
Week 1 · Sunday, September 13 · 1:00 PM ET
Atlanta Falcons at Pittsburgh Steelers
Acrisure Stadium · grass · outdoor

Tagovailoa is with the Falcons now, and the mix barely moves: both clubs threw on about 54 percent of their plays last season, 21st and 22nd of 32. He has not played a game for them, so the club figures below are the Falcons' and his own are what he did with the Dolphins. Tagovailoa threw 384 of the 402 pass attempts the Dolphins made in the 14 regular season games he played in 2025. He is listed at 6-1 and 218 pounds, shorter than 83 percent of the 116 quarterbacks on a 2026 roster and lighter than 58 percent of them. The 17 defenses on the Falcons' 2026 schedule gave up 226.6 passing yards a game last season; the 17 the Dolphins met gave up 221.4.

Sacks credited to their defenders. It is not always the same count as the sacks their opponents were charged with allowing.Pass attempts plus sacks taken, over those plus rushing attempts. A sack is a called pass that never became an attempt, so it counts on the pass side. Kneel-downs sit inside the rushing attempts and cannot be separated out.These are box score totals, not charted by alignment, so there is no split of what a defense gives up to slot receivers, to backs or to any other role. Nothing here claims one.

Record against the posted line, by market

Every market our archive priced him in at least eight times · the line is each book's opening number, median across the books quoting it · a market we priced fewer times is left off rather than shown with a sample too small to mean anything

Over rate excludes pushes and prints the decided count it is taken over. Whole-number markets (receptions, interceptions) push often, so overs divided by games would read several points off. The touchdown market posts no number at all, only a price, so it is graded as scored or not against the price implied by the books before their margin.
