Another opportunity to ascend above the .500 mark for the first time since the 2017 season passed the Atlanta Falcons by on Sunday, as they fell to the Los Angeles Chargers 20-17 on a game-ending field goal.
It was an uncharacteristically sloppy performance in some aspects, with miscues in the passing attack and ball security issues being of particular note. There were several opportunities for this game to go differently, especially with over 200 rushing yards on the day, but Atlanta can’t afford to linger on the loss for too long with a rematch against the Carolina Panthers looming on Thursday night.
