ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Falcons were supposed to be carried by an explosive offense this year.
Sure, it would have been a tall task to ask the Falcons to duplicate what they accomplished during the Super Bowl run in 2016, when they led the league at 33.8 points per game. But when you have a one-time MVP in Matt Ryan, a five-time Pro Bowler in Julio Jones, an electric rookie in Calvin Ridley, and a host of other capable weapons, points are supposed to come a little easier.
Such hasn't been the case for the Falcons over the last 22 days during a four-game losing streak that put any playoff talk to rest.
