At this point, the Atlanta Falcons should be used to these gutting losses since they've suffered so many across the last few weeks. But that doesn't make it sting any less, as the Falcons' 27-24 loss to the Jets was the latest entry in a season that has been defined by blown leads and missed opportunity.
However, that didn't stop fifth-year linebacker Divine Deablo from providing a startling admission. As the game progressed, the Dirty Birds' struggles against the run were amplified, which led Deablo to admit that the defense "let up a little bit" after containing Breece Hall for the majority of the game.
