Sunday’s loss to the Colts was ... unpleasant. From Matt Ryan’s sixth interception of the year to Keanu Neal’s season-ending achilles tear, there were plenty of lowlights. The path ahead is less than clear. It’s going to take a lot of hard work and resilience to bounce back from this 1-2 start.
So what did we learn from the loss?
1. This is not a disciplined football team
The Falcons have somehow racked up a league-leading 35 penalties (264 penalty yards) in only 3 games. They committed 16 penalties yesterday.
