The Falcons were coming off a bye week and facing one of the shakiest teams in the NFL, a squad that just dropped a game to the formerly winless Jaguars and had to fly back from London and prepare for the game. Naturally, they went down by a touchdown early, led by two scores and then squandered a lead, and had to win on a last second field goal.
We’re a year or more away from the Falcons beating teams simply because they are more talented—that’s assuming their improvement is somewhat linear—and every win this year is going to be hard-fought and tense.
