What happened: Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski said Cooper Rush "battled" after Atlanta's matchup with Pittsburgh, even as he acknowledged the offense would want the turnovers back. Stefanski also credited the Steelers, pointing to the opponent's role in the giveaways and the pressure around them.

Why it matters: The quarterback question matters because Atlanta had already turned to Rush with Tua out against the Steelers and was still assessing how healthy he looked entering the week. That public defense gives Atlanta room to weigh the full performance before deciding how much the turnovers should change its next move at quarterback.

What to watch: The next signal is whether Stefanski sticks with Rush for the next start after finishing the film review. Any update on Tua's availability would also reshape Atlanta's decision at quarterback.
