With the Falcons playing in their second game in five days, following their worst statistical defeat since the 1990s, I had just one hope during their Thursday Night Football clash against the New England Patriots — that they don’t embarrass themselves on national television.
The Atlanta professional football team crushed that hope, as their offense was made to look like a high school unit by a Patriots coaching staff which completely outclassed Atlanta’s throughout the entire evening.
For the first time since 1988, the Falcons were shut out at home. Of course, that made it a brutal proposition for anyone who started any Falcons on Thursday Night Football this week.
