It’s a Wednesday, which means we have links (like every Wednesday).
Is it the end?
Over the past 30 years, only about 12% of the teams who started their seasons 0-2 made the playoffs. The Falcons? Yep, 0-2.
Even with an expanded playoff format last year, there was not one 0-2 team in the mix. So that begs the question: Is an 0-2 start a death knell for the Atlanta Falcons, even with an additional game on the schedule?
What we learned
Five things, exactly. The Falcons showed they are completely capable of putting together solid football — on both sides of the ball — for a full quarter.
