Quick: how many Atlanta Falcons fans had the team down by only three points to the defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers after three quarters?
Stop right there, because let’s be honest: nobody saw that coming after last week’s debacle against Philadelphia.
Still, that didn’t change the outcome, as the Falcons fell in Tampa, 48-25, offsetting what appeared to be a small form of progress with this team.
The Atlanta Falcons progress was slight but it was there nonetheless
Again, the team was anything far from perfect, but against this vaunted Bucs front seven, the team only surrendered one sack, a third-down stop by defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
