Falcons vs. Chiefs: 3 Falcons up, 3 Falcons down after Week 16 loss

The Falcons may have lost yesterday, but their performance was ... unexpected. How do we square a game like that with the Falcons’ 4-11 record?

Clearly the Falcons are better than their record would suggest, but knowing that isn’t much of a consolation prize after a cringeworthy season.

Let’s take a look at some of the best and worst performances from Week 16.
