FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- When you lose track of a guy who stands 6-foot-4 not once but twice, you must be doing something really wrong.
That's exactly what happened to the Atlanta Falcons' defense on Sunday in the first half against the Seattle Seahawks. Rookie wide receiver DK Metcalf was wide open on 4- and 2-yard touchdown receptions from quarterback Russell Wilson. Those two defensive breakdowns were symbolic of the implosion the Falcons have gone through during this 1-7 season, with a losing streaking reaching six in a row following Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Seahawks.
