HOUSTON -- There's only one way to describe the Atlanta Falcons' defense from Sunday: embarrassing.
Coach Dan Quinn thought he saw a renewed sense of urgency in the unit following last Sunday's miserable first half against the Tennessee Titans. But despite the talk in the locker room about staying on the fundamentals and going out and having fun, the Falcons had some of the same defensive lapses that have plagued them through the early part of the season.
At 1-4 and losers of three games in a row, the Falcons are running out of excuses following a 53-32 road loss to the Houston Texans.
