Falcons get reality check in dispiriting loss to Panthers

If the bloodied hand of Matt Ryan wasn’t enough to tell you it just wasn’t the Atlanta Falcons’ day, perhaps everything that followed would’ve done the trick.

In a day where the Falcons got tough news about its top receiver, the team’s brief win streak snapped like a loose twig. The team got sent crashing back down to Earth, to the reality that this isn’t a football team that’s going to be in the winning margin right now.

Disappointment is expected, but don’t be too upset. October might’ve had too much fool’s gold for these Falcons.
