Crowd at Boise gave an extended ovation when asked to thank Air Force's cadets for their service in protecting the country prior to the anthem. Pretty cool moment on an opponent's floor for the Falcons.

Air Force graduate Garrett Griffin is apparently set to join the New Orleans Saints' active roster on Sunday. The tight end could be the first former Falcon to make his NFL debut since @BenGarland63 on Nov. 9, 2014.
