The Falcons and Cowboys came into this game desperate to avoid an 0-2 start. Amazingly, in his 12 years in the league, Matt Ryan has yet to start any season 0-2 - which frankly, is a worrying statistic (all good things do come to an end after all). Did Ryan and the rest of the Falcons avoid an 0-2 start or will they dig a hole that will be increasingly hard to get out of? Let’s see how the game played out.
First quarter
The Falcons win the toss and elect to receive.
