Welcome to the Dirty Birds Dispatch, your new weekly newsletter. It can be tough being a Falcons fan, but don’t worry. We got you.

Every Thursday morning, I’ll share the most important stories and perspectives on the Falcons, their opponents, their work in the community and how they plan to return to their winning ways. Plus, there’s always something interesting about the Falcons — win or lose. We want to leave you with some hope, feeling informed and ready for kickoff.

Because at the Dirty Birds Dispatch, we believe there’s power in staying connected to your team and fan base. We hope you feel it.

Starting … now.
