Atlanta Falcons QB 'Sexy' Halloween Costume Going Viral; Taylor Heinicke & 'Headlights'

As the Atlanta Falcons work to figure out what they are going to do in a post-Halloween time in the NFL, there is still reflective fun to be had. And Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke is among those having that fun.

Heinicke, the 30-year-old journeyman who some think should be jousting with Desmond Ridder for the starting job in Atlanta, is sharing his "deer in the headlights" costume on his Instagram story, and it is going viral across multiple platforms. And why?

Well, to be delicate about it: Heinicke is dressed as "the deer." And his date is ... er, dressed as "the headlights."

A Heinicke Halloween

Is that delicate enough? "A deer in the headlights," with the young lady's posing with those headlights having been strategically placed on her torso?

Heinicke, who came to Atlanta this year after having competed for the starting job with the Washington Commanders, made his 2023 debut last week in relief of Ridder in a Sunday loss to the Tennessee Titans.

In that game - a 28-23 defeat that marks a setback in 4-4 Atlanta's quest to win the NFC South - Heinicke completed 12 of 21 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown. Is that better than young Ridder can be expected to do as the Falcons move forward, this week with a visit from the 4-4 Vikings, who have their own QB questions now that Kirk Cousins is out for the year?

That's up to coach Arthur Smith to determine. But if this is a contest for best "sexy" Halloween pairing? Heinicke and his sweetheart have our vote.
