PITTSBURGH — For three quarters Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons looked like a team that had no business hanging around Acrisure Stadium. Their top two quarterbacks were out. They were starting Cooper Rush on short notice. They were sloppy, penalty-prone, and kicking field goals they should have converted from closer range.
They were also within a score of beating the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Then T.J. Watt jumped a swing pass, stumbled, got back up, and ran 35 yards the other way. Pittsburgh won 20-13. Atlanta left with a one-score loss that felt both narrow and inevitable.
A game that never quite got clean
The final margin was seven points. The afternoon was messier than that.
The two sides combined for 16 accepted penalties, three fumbles, and three missed field goals. The Steelers’ offense managed only 264 yards and went 3-for-13 on third down. The Falcons were worse on third down, converting 2 of 12, and generated just 238 yards of total offense. Neither team looked like it had spent August in midseason form.
Pittsburgh still found enough. Aaron Rodgers, opening what he has called his final NFL season, completed 24 of 40 passes for 221 yards and a touchdown to Pat Freiermuth. Chris Boswell added field goals of 43 and 28 yards. The running game never materialized — Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle combined for 61 yards on 18 carries — but the defense did not need it.
Robinson almost carried Atlanta by himself
Bijan Robinson was the Falcons’ entire offense.
He rushed 21 times for 83 yards and caught eight passes for 90 yards and the team’s only touchdown, a 23-yard swing pass in the first quarter in which he split three defenders and finished in the end zone. Those 173 yards from scrimmage accounted for most of Atlanta’s 238. Drake London had two catches for 29 yards. Almost nobody else touched the ball.
The score at that moment was 7-3 Falcons. A Jaylen Warren fumble near Pittsburgh’s 30 had set the drive up. For a stretch, the visitors looked ready to steal a road opener that the injury report said they should have lost by two scores.
They could not stay there.
Nick Folk later made field goals of 51 and 43 yards, cutting the deficit to 13-10 late in the third and 20-13 in the fourth. Two other kicks did not go. The offense never found a second act beyond Robinson. Rush finished 12 of 22 for 143 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Both picks became Pittsburgh touchdowns.
The play that decided it
Early in the fourth quarter, Atlanta still trailed only 13-10. Rush tried a quick throw to Robinson in the flat. Watt, coming off what was widely described as a down year by his standards, stepped in front of it.
He picked the ball at the Falcons’ 35, slipped on the turf, popped up, and scored. The extra point made it 20-10 with 14:05 remaining. Watt also finished with two sacks and three tackles for loss. Cam Heyward batted passes at the line. Jaquan Brisker had the other interception, which led to Freiermuth’s touchdown. Pittsburgh sacked Rush four times.
Folk’s 43-yarder made it a one-score game again. Atlanta never got the ball back with a realistic chance. Rodgers completed three passes on a late drive that burned the final 4:16. Warren’s 9-yard run near the two-minute warning finished it.
New coaches, old problems
The game was a first for both sidelines in different ways. Mike McCarthy’s Steelers debut was a win, if not a statement. Kevin Stefanski’s Falcons debut was a loss that looked a lot like Atlanta’s recent Week 1 history: the franchise has now dropped nine openers in 11 years.
Stefanski’s postgame assessment was blunt. It is hard to win on the road, he said, when a team does the things Atlanta did — penalties, missed kicks, turnovers, a third-string quarterback asked to operate on a short week after Tua Tagovailoa’s back flared and Michael Penix Jr. remained out with a knee injury. Both QBs could be available as soon as Week 2 against Carolina, according to reporting around the team.25
Until then, the tape is simple. Robinson was a one-man show. The defense kept Atlanta close enough that a single mistake would decide it. Watt supplied the mistake and the answer in the same play.
A seven-point loss on the road, against a home favorite, with a backup quarterback, is not a collapse. It is also not a moral victory. The Falcons were close enough to believe. They were not clean enough to finish.

Cooper Rush will start Week 1 for the Atlanta Falcons after Tua Tagovailoa was ruled out with an oblique injury, while Michael Penix Jr. remains inactive as he works back from last year’s ACL tear.
The Falcons’ quarterback situation turned again Friday at Flowery Branch. Coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Tagovailoa will miss Sunday’s season opener at Pittsburgh after the former Dolphins starter grabbed his side during a Thursday throwing drill, sat on the grass, and never returned to first-team work.
Tua Out; Cooper Rush To Start for Falcons vs. Pittsburgh
Rush took every first-string snap Thursday and Friday. Undrafted rookie Jack Strand will back him up.
Tagovailoa had been named the Week 1 starter only Monday after a short competition with Penix. The 28-year-old signed a one-year deal in March following his release from Miami. He missed the first week of training camp with a back “flare-up,” then won the job once Penix said he was not yet ready for live snaps. The oblique issue is separate from that earlier back tightness, Stefanski said. Tagovailoa is listed as week-to-week.
Penix, the 2024 first-round pick, tore his left ACL in Week 11 of 2025 against Carolina and started nine games that year (3-6, 1,982 yards, nine TDs, three INTs). He was cleared for 11-on-11 work in late August and has practiced fully this week, but he told coaches he is “not where I want to be” and wants to be 100 percent before playing. He will be inactive Sunday. Stefanski said Penix was never an option even after Tagovailoa went down: “Mike will be ready when Mike’s ready.”
Rush, 32, was signed July 29 on the first day of camp precisely because both Tagovailoa and Penix were limited. The former Cowboys and Ravens backup has started 16 career games (9-7 record) and appeared in 42. Last season in Baltimore he threw for 303 yards, zero touchdowns, and four interceptions in four games. He had taken only one series with Atlanta’s starters during camp before this week. “Every throw you throw to Drake (London), every throw you throw to Kyle (Pitts) matters,” Rush said. “The game prep doesn’t change mentally.”
For Falcons fans, this is a familiar kind of opening-week curveball. A new coaching staff under Stefanski, a veteran stopgap signed after Miami cut Tagovailoa, a young former first-rounder still rehabbing, and now a journeyman who spent seven years behind Dak Prescott taking the first snap of the season on the road against Mike McCarthy’s Steelers. Atlanta opens at 1 p.m. Sunday at Acrisure Stadium.
The hope in Flowery Branch is that the offense—Bijan Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts—can stay on schedule while the quarterback room sorts itself out.

FAIRBURN, Ga. — The Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic is back for its ninth year, mixing competitive polo, fashion and celebrity culture into a fundraiser for youth equestrian access.
The landmark event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19, from noon to 6 p.m. at Bouckaert Farm, 10045 Cedar Grove Road in Fairburn.
Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic returns Sept. 19 with Tyrese, luxury polo and a growing youth pipeline
Presented by the Miguel Wilson Collection and the Ride to the Olympics Foundation, it is sponsored by Bentley Atlanta, Ben Crump Law and Indigo Road Realty.
Organizers expect more than 2,000 guests. The weekend opens Friday, Sept. 18, with a ticket-holder welcome party sponsored by Ben Crump Law at The Westin Atlanta Airport Hotel.
Saturday’s main program features gourmet food, signature cocktails, live music, three party tents and polo matches involving the Atlanta B.E.S.T. Academy Polo Team, the Morehouse Polo Club and a visiting Nigerian polo team.
Singer, songwriter and actor Tyrese is slated to headline with a live performance. Other announced guests include radio host Frank Ski, radio personality Kenny Burns, producer-songwriter Bryan-Michael Cox, actors Clifton Powell and Rob Riley, rapper Pastor Troy and comedian Red Grant.
Past attendees have included Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Pastor Jamal Bryant, Young Jeezy, Nene Leakes, Cynthia Bailey, Sheree Whitfield, Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson, Q Parker, RL of Next, and Waka Flocka.
“When we launched this event nine years ago, we couldn’t have envisioned the incredible impact it would have,” founder Miguel Wilson said. “Nearly a decade later, the excitement is unmatched. We’ve been receiving calls since the start of the year, with guests flying in from across the country. I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome everyone for an unforgettable ninth year.”
All proceeds support the Ride to the Olympics Foundation, a nonprofit that works to give young people in underrepresented communities access to equestrian sports. The Classic has been the foundation’s primary fundraiser for nine years.
The foundation backs the Morehouse Polo Club, which first appeared at the second Classic as the first HBCU polo team and earned U.S. Polo Association certification in 2020. It also supports the Atlanta B.E.S.T. Academy Polo Team, introduced last year as the nation’s first all-Black high school polo team registered with the USPA. That team grew out of a partnership among the foundation, Atlanta B.E.S.T. Academy and 100 Black Men of Atlanta.
“The heartbeat of this event will always be the impact that we are making with these young riders. They are at the center of all of this,” Wilson said. “Seeing the Morehouse Polo Club and the Atlanta B.E.S.T. Academy team take the field is proof of concept. We’re actively breaking down barriers in equestrian sports. This is about building a legacy and giving our youth access to a world they were previously shut out of.”
Atlanta has a lot of cool things to do and places to eat, including some of the top soul food joints and remarkable Thai food spots. Explore the city.

Phaedra Parks and Chris “CT” Tamburello made their first official red-carpet appearance as a couple at Night 1 of the 2026 Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday, September 5, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
The outing came one day after Parks confirmed on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live that their relationship was “not” platonic. She told host Jeff Lewis she had already been out with Tamburello and that she would attend as his date while he presented an award.
Phaedra Parks, Chris ‘CT’ Tamburello Go Public
They met while competing on Season 2 of Peacock’s The Traitors, filmed in late 2023 and aired in 2024. Viewers and fellow contestants noticed their chemistry at the time. Recent social-media exchanges, including Tamburello’s August request for an Emmys plus-one and Parks’ reply “Baby I’m already yours,” kept the speculation going until her on-air confirmation.
On the carpet, Parks wore a black velvet halter gown with crystal-lined cutouts and a leg slit (described in some reports as Jovani Couture), paired with a flipped blonde bob and diamond jewelry. Tamburello wore a classic black tuxedo. Photos show him with his arm around her waist as they posed; they kept public displays of affection limited. Tamburello also posed with fellow The Challenge and Traitors alum Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio, who presented as well.
The Traitors swept all six of its Creative Arts categories that night, including Outstanding Host for Alan Cumming. The timing gave the new couple a celebratory backdrop. The next day Parks posted photos from the event with the caption, “Some came for the awards. I came with the prize. Thank you to the real trophy for making a beautiful night even better.”5
Parks and Tamburello planned to travel together to New York afterward. The appearance marked the public step after weeks of flirtation that traced back to their Traitors days. Fans who shipped the pairing finally saw it on a major awards-show carpet.

Atlanta native T-Boz of TLC is recovering at home after a sickle cell crisis forced her off the road, as the group’s hometown date at Chastain Park approaches.
Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, 56, was hospitalized after a sickle cell crisis and is now “recovering and regaining her strength,” her representative Christal Jordan said in a statement first reported this week.
T-Boz Sickle Cell Crisis: What We Know
The flare-up pulled her from multiple dates on TLC’s It’s Iconic Tour with Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue. Bandmate Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas has been performing the group’s catalog solo, with fans and fellow acts filling in T-Boz’s parts and offering prayers from the crowd.
TLC manager Bill Diggins later said the condition is not considered life-threatening and that Watkins is improving each day. Recovery from a crisis can take days or weeks. She will return only when fully recovered and medically cleared. Chilli will continue the remaining dates in the meantime.
Chilli addressed the absence onstage at the Aug. 28 show at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. “As you guys know, my sister T-Boz has sickle cell… sometimes those flare-ups come, and this is that time,” she told the audience, asking fans to “hold her down.” Similar messages followed at later Northeast stops.
Atlanta roots and a hometown date still on the calendar
Watkins was born in Des Moines, Iowa, and moved to the Atlanta area at age 9. TLC formed in Atlanta in the early 1990s and became one of the city’s defining musical exports, with hits including “Waterfalls,” “No Scrubs,” and “Creep.” Watkins has long been open about living with sickle cell disease since childhood; doctors once told her she would not live past 30. She has written about the illness in her memoir A Sick Life.
The tour itself launched Aug. 15 in Franklin, Tennessee. It is scheduled to play Atlanta’s Synovus Bank Amphitheater at Chastain Park on Oct. 2. That hometown date remains on the books, though whether Watkins will be cleared to perform is not yet known. Promoters have not canceled remaining shows.
September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month. Watkins has spoken for years about the pain, organ-risk, and unpredictability of crises, which can be triggered by stress, dehydration, or infection. Representatives have asked fans to keep prayers coming and thanked audiences for singing her parts and surrounding the group with support.
Friends including Jodeci’s Mr. Dalvin have also publicly asked for prayers. The group’s statement emphasized gratitude: “The love shown for T-Boz has been overwhelming.”
Atlanta fans hoping to see the full original pairing of T-Boz and Chilli on the Chastain Park lawn will have to wait for a medical update closer to Oct. 2. For now the official word is cautious optimism and rest.
Things to do in Atlanta on a weekly basis can range from going golfing mid-week to checking out the latest restaurant openings. At AtlantaFi.com, we curate the city for you!

The Georgia Bulldogs enter the 2026 college football season as the preseason No. 3 team in the AP Top 25 and the highest-ranked program in the SEC, with Kirby Smart in his 11th year as head coach.
Coming off a 12-2 campaign in 2025 that included a second straight SEC championship (a 28-7 win over Alabama) and a College Football Playoff appearance that ended in a Sugar Bowl loss to Ole Miss, Georgia returns quarterback Gunner Stockton and looks to contend again for a national title.
Smart’s record at Georgia stands at 117-21 with two national championships and four SEC titles.
Georgia Bulldogs 2026 Football Schedule
The 2026 slate features nine SEC games for the first time in conference history, a mix of home nights Between the Hedges, tough road environments, and a relocated World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Non-conference games include FCS Tennessee State, Western Kentucky, and the traditional season-ending rivalry with Georgia Tech. A bye week falls on Oct. 24.
2026 Georgia Football Schedule
Opponent Date Location Score Tennessee State Sat, Sept. 5 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) W 63-3 Western Kentucky Sat, Sept. 12 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) W 70-20 at Arkansas Sat, Sept. 19 Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Fayetteville, AR TBD Oklahoma Sat, Sept. 26 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) TBD Vanderbilt Sat, Oct. 3 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) TBD at Alabama Sat, Oct. 10 Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL TBD Auburn Sat, Oct. 17 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) TBD vs. Florida Sat, Oct. 31 Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA (Neutral) TBD at Ole Miss Sat, Nov. 7 Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, MS TBD Missouri Sat, Nov. 14 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) TBD at South Carolina Sat, Nov. 21 Williams-Brice Stadium, Columbia, SC TBD Georgia Tech Sat, Nov. 28 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) TBD Key Storylines and Notable Games
Kickoff times and networks for later games remain TBA or fall into announced windows (early, afternoon, night, or flex). Confirmed times include Tennessee State (3 p.m. ET, SEC Network+), Western Kentucky (12:45 p.m. ET, SEC Network), Arkansas (12 p.m. ET, ABC), and Florida (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC).0
Georgia opens at home against Tennessee State, a first-time opponent and FCS program coming off a 0-1 start. The Bulldogs are heavy favorites in a game that will introduce new offensive pieces after significant turnover at wide receiver. Stockton, an All-SEC quarterback in his second year as starter, returns along with tailbacks Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens. The defense, particularly the back seven, is viewed as a strength.
The non-conference portion stays relatively light after the opener, with Western Kentucky visiting in Week 2. SEC play begins immediately on the road at Arkansas, followed by a high-profile home game against No. 10 Oklahoma—the second meeting in the series after Georgia’s 54-48 overtime Rose Bowl win in the 2018 College Football Playoff.
Other marquee matchups include a night-window trip to Alabama (Oct. 10), the annual Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry with Auburn at home, and a rare change of venue for Florida. For the first time since 1995, the Georgia-Florida game leaves Jacksonville due to renovations at EverBank Stadium and will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Later road tests at Ole Miss and South Carolina, plus home games against Vanderbilt and No. 25 Missouri, round out a demanding conference slate. The season closes with Georgia Tech in Athens.
Georgia faces four preseason ranked opponents: Oklahoma (No. 10), Alabama (No. 13), Ole Miss (No. 9), and Missouri (No. 25). The schedule’s balance of home games (seven, including the Atlanta neutral site) and four true road contests gives the Bulldogs a path to another 10-plus-win season and CFP berth if they avoid multiple losses in the gauntlet of SEC play.45
Expectations remain high in Athens. With Stockton leading the offense, an experienced defense, and Smart’s consistent program building, Georgia is positioned as a top national contender once again.
Results will fill in starting today as the Bulldogs take the field against Tennessee State.

DDG is taking Hit-A-Thon 2 to Atlanta for a weeklong livestream from September 14 through September 21, building a full album live with chat while different artists pull up each day to record.
The streamer and rapper (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., known as DDG or PontiacMadeDDG) dropped the official trailer today and framed the event as the biggest music-focused streaming marathon, this time in “the biggest city in music.” He asked fans to tag artists they want to see show up.
What Hit-A-Thon is
Last year’s first Hit-A-Thon was a 24/7 week on Twitch where DDG made Blame the Chat in real time. Chat helped pick beats, decide which songs made the cut, and shape the project. Guests came through the studio, the stream peaked at huge concurrent numbers, and the album later fed a tour that included Atlanta.15
Hit-A-Thon 2 repeats the core idea—build an entire album live—but moves the house to Atlanta and opens the door wider for rappers and streamers to pull up day after day.
What to expect: DDG’s Hit-A-Thon 2 in Atlanta
- Weeklong livestream, September 14–21
- DDG recording in Atlanta with chat in the loop
- Different artists expected each day
- Same mix of studio sessions, fan votes, guests, and marathon energy that defined the first run
Kick coverage has already called it a bid for “the biggest music stream in the world” and noted DDG inviting streamers and rappers to pull up.1
How to watch
There is no separate paid ticket for the livestream itself. Watch the same way as last year:
- Twitch — Follow twitch.tv/ddg or twitch.tv/pontiacmadeddg and turn on notifications. That was the home of Hit-A-Thon 1.
- YouTube — Clips and recaps typically land on the DDG Live channel after sessions.
- Discord — Join discord.gg/ddg for community updates, goals, and schedule chatter.
Create a free Twitch account if you don’t have one: go to twitch.tv, sign up with email or a connected account, follow DDG, and enable alerts so you don’t miss when he goes live.
How artists and streamers can pull up
DDG has publicly invited rappers and streamers. Practical steps:
- Tag @PontiacMadeDDG on X with the artist you want in the studio (he asked for tags in the trailer post).
- Follow his Twitch, X, and Instagram so team outreach or last-minute drop-ins are easier to catch.
- Watch Kick and Twitch clips for any additional “pull up” details he drops closer to September 14.
No public Google Form for Hit-A-Thon 2 artist registration has been posted yet. Last year’s format was invitation plus whoever showed up while he was live. Expect the same mix unless he announces a formal signup closer to the date.
Why Atlanta
Atlanta is both a music capital and a city DDG already played on the Blame the Chat tour. Staging the whole week there raises the odds of local and touring artists walking in, which is the point of version 2.
Mark September 14–21, follow the channels above, and keep an eye on his X for guest names and exact go-live times. The album gets built in public—chat included.

Kelli Potter’s ongoing legal battle with Gary L. Tolliver has escalated, with the latest collection effort now reaching the production company behind The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
On August 17, 2026, a Summons of Continuing Garnishment was filed in Fulton County State Court naming Truly Original, LLC as the garnishee. Tolliver is seeking to collect an $83,699 judgment against Potter through the move.
Kelli Potter’s RHOA Income Targeted In Legal Drama
The filing orders Truly Original to answer the court and disclose whether it holds or owes any property, money, or other financial interests belonging to Potter (also known as Kelli Potter-Ferrell) or her company, Kooking with Kelli INC.
Notably, the documents specifically reference potential “contractual payouts, episodic appearance fees, talent compensation, production fees, or residuals” that may be owed to Potter or her company. That language places her Real Housewives of Atlanta-related earnings squarely in the crosshairs of the collection effort, as Truly Original produces the long-running Bravo series.
Under the terms of the continuing garnishment, Truly Original would be required to withhold and accumulate any qualifying contractual payouts, production fees, episodic talent compensation, or residuals owed to Potter or Kooking with Kelli INC. The obligation begins upon service of the summons and continues through the 179th day thereafter.
The production company has 45 days after being served to file its initial answer with the court. The summons warns that failure to answer or comply could result in a default judgment against Truly Original for the full approximately $83,000 amount.
The development marks a significant turn in the dispute, directly linking Potter’s television income to Tolliver’s collection push. Further updates are expected once Truly Original responds to the court.
