The Falcons dropped an important division game to our rival New Orleans Saints in a shoot-out that surprised no one. That said, it’s not often that your QB can put up over 370 yards with 5 TDs and no turnover and still lose the game. It was a frustrating loss that fans will undoubtedly analyze deeply over the next week. Here are the takeaways from the game.
A week after putting up 31 points on a good Carolina defensive front, the Falcons put up an impressive 37 points against another good defensive front. People will talk about some of the lost opportunities, but it is hard to argue with 37 points from your offense, including near perfection in the red zone.
