In the past two weeks, the Falcons have experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows as a team. Beating the Saints on the road in dramatic fashion was a real statement win for Arthur Smith. The team showed resilience, intelligence, and fearlessness to beat their biggest rival. Unfortunately, all the excitement quickly evaporated in a humiliating defeat to the Cowboys.
They were completely annihilated in all aspects of the game. Whether it was Matt Ryan proving unable to connect with his receivers or the defense not coming close to touching Dak Prescott, the Falcons didn’t belong on the same field as one of the NFC’s premier teams.
