This is a tough one to swallow. The Falcons played well in some key areas, but a few untimely lapses cost them a favorable outcome on a road in inclement weather conditions. Atlanta lost to the Washington Commanders 19-13 on Sunday, dropping to 5-7 on the season.
It’s a loss that dealt a blow to Atlanta’s playoff hopes, but perhaps not a mortal one based on Tampa Bay’s loss to Cleveland, which means the Falcons keep pace in the NFC South.
Nevertheless, there are some positives and negatives to take away from Sunday’s game, but time is starting to run out with one game remaining until the bye week.
