The Falcons came into this game knowing full well that the Denver Broncos were their easiest opponent the rest of the way. They finally treated this game like it was a must win and a game they could handle, and the result was a win that was rarely in doubt...until late.
Raheem Morris is now 3-1, but the greatest argument against him remains this team’s continued inability to salt away games where they’re winning by a preposterous amount. The Falcon managed to go up by 21 points in this one, but in the end they won by 7 only because they blessedly recovered the onside kick.
