Atlanta vs. Oakland: A Win In OT Or A Win In No Time?

After an unfortunate loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their first regular season game on Sunday, the Falcons have to make up for that in order to keep a good momentum for upcoming season. Losing 31-24 in the Georgia Dome, it was definitely a close game for the Dirty Birds.


The next upcoming game will be Sunday September 18, in Oakland, California against the Oakland Raiders.

This will honestly be another tough game for the Falcons to play. Being an away game, especially after Oakland just defeated the Saints 35-34 in New Orleans, Oakland is ready to continue their winning streak.

Atlanta has the drive and the team to defeat any team they play including the Oakland Raiders, but what exactly is going to be the key to winning this next game?

Julio Jones re-injured his left ankle in the third quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, causing him to possibly sit out this next game. If he does play, he may not give it his 100% like he usually does with the fear that he may hurt himself again.

With this injury prohibiting the team from full success, each Falcons' player needs to bring their A-game to the field. Atlanta was up by almost 15 points to the Buccaneers in the first quarter, but then lost that momentum to result in a loss.

Atlanta can not afford to lose the momentum that they have always had. The momentum is there, but they need to execute it.

The Oakland Raiders have been in the same position as Atlanta for the past five years, they are ready to bring more wins home to their hometown. With their new defensive lineup and Atlanta's redesigned roster, this will definitely be an interesting turnout.

Do not be surprised if this game is extremely close, because it could even end in overtime if Atlanta will continue to play their cards right.


You win and you lose some, right? There is so much hope for the Atlanta Falcons. They just got off to a rough start. Fans are ready to see this season with more wins than losses. Stay Tuned to the Oakland Raiders vs. Atlanta Falcons game on Sunday at 4:25 pm on CBS.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
