The Falcons were unable to get back on track Sunday and, thanks to a challenging fourth quarter, fell to the Colts, 24-21. Adam Vinitieri kicked a field goal with 52 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give Indianapolis a lead it would not relinquish. Atlanta had a chance to tie it but were unable to get into Colts territory.
Thrust into action while Andrew Luck mends from a couple injuries, Matt Hasselbeck turned in a solid performance for the Colts, finishing with 23 completions for 213 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Julio Jones had another spectacular game for Atlanta, this time gaining 160 reciving yards on nine catches.
