The Falcons came into this one facing a tough but reeling Titans team starting a rookie quarterback and down a pair of impact defenders in the secondary. Our favorite team never makes it easy, but expecting a win from your Atlanta Falcons was not at all unreasonable.
Instead, the Falcons rolled out some familiar mistakes and tried out some new ones. Coverage lapses and a quiet day at the office from the pass rush allowed the Titans to score four touchdowns, all of them thrown by rookie quarterback Will Levis, and injuries made it tougher for Atlanta to get off the field on that side of the ball.
