Taylor Heinicke had the best Halloween costume of the day.
The Atlanta Falcons quarterback and what seems to be his girlfriend had an ingenious idea as she dressed up as a pair of headlights and a road that came complete with the stripes in the middle of her body with the headlights on her chest.
For the Falcons quarterback, he was dressed as a deer on his knees and looking at the headlights.
A deer in the headlights.
Perfection.
As for his career, Heinicke got some action on Sunday as Desmond Ridder struggled through the first half against the Tennessee Titans, the Falcons turned to him for the remainder of the way. The switch led to striking offensive improvement, even though it wasn’t enough to prevent a 28-23 loss.

Ridder will be re-evaluated this week for a possible concussion, with a starter for Week 9 to be announced on Wednesday.
“I’ve gotta see where he’s at,” Smith said. “I’ve gotta see if that’s the best thing for this team this week. Obviously, it’s not something I’m concerned (about) long-term. He’s done a lot of good things. But we’ve gotta go find a way to win this game. If that’s Taylor, that’s what we’ll do. My concern is Des.”
Heinicke led the Falcons on four scoring drives that were two touchdowns and two field goals while completing 12 of 21 passes for 171 yards.
