The Falcons are now 0-3 after blowing another big fourth-quarter lead, this time to the Chicago Bears. It’s the first time Atlanta has started 0-3 since 2007, otherwise known as the Bobby Petrino disaster. The team set another bad record this week by becoming the first NFL team in history to blow 15+ point leads in the fourth quarter in two consecutive games. If I wasn’t laughing, I’d be crying, because the 2020 Falcons have redefined ineptitude.
Physically, the team is beat down. Atlanta was down 3 defensive starters going into Week 3, with Ricardo Allen, Foyesade Oluokun, and Takkarist McKinley all injured.
