In the 139th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast, Falcons coach Dan Quinn and offensive tackle Matt Gono stop by to help us breakdown the 19-7 loss to the Redskins.

Gono dissusses his first NFL start and we give a shout out to friend of the program Keith Middleton, the father of former Georgia State and Brookwood High linebacker Chase Middleton.
