LOOK: Atlanta Falcons Reveal Week 5 Uniforms vs. Texans
The Atlanta Falcons plan to wear their black jerseys, black pants and black helmets for their Week 5 matchup with the Houston Texans, the team announced on social media.
Below is a look at what uniform combinations the Falcons have worn for each game so far in 2023.
Week 1 vs. Carolina Panthers (24-10 win): Black tops, blank pants, black helmet
Week 2 vs. Green Bay Packers (25-24 win): Throwback black tops, white pants, throwback red helmets
Week 3 at Detroit Lions (20-6 loss): White tops, black pants, black helmets
Week 4 at Jacksonville Jaguars (23-7 loss): White tops, white pants, black helmets
The Falcons are currently 1.5-point home favorites against the Texans, with the bulk of their slight advantage likely attributed to the fact that they'll be hosting the game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
After starting out 2-0, the Falcons have lost consecutive games to the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite quite a bit of skill-position talent -- running back Bijan Robinson, tight end Kyle Pitts and receiver Drake London -- coach Arthur Smith's offense seemingly has a ceiling right now because of the lackluster play of quarterback Desmond Ridder. In four games, Ridder has tossed three touchdowns to three interceptions, while racking up only 744 total passing yards.
Meanwhile, the Texans, under first-year coach DeMeco Ryans, have been a pleasant surprise thus far. Houston is 2-2, following back-to-back blowout wins over the Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers. No. 2 overall pick C.J. Stroud looks like the best rookie quarterback in this year's class through the first month of the season, as he's thrown for 1,212 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions.
