Judging Week 2 NFL overreactions: Dak Prescott's 2021 megadeal, Josh Allen for MVP and more

If there's a fan base anywhere in the world that knows it's not enough to be up 20-0 at the end of the first quarter, or 29-10 at halftime or even 39-24 with five minutes left in the game, it would be the Atlanta Falcons' fan base. So when Greg Zuerlein's field goal split the uprights with time expired to give the Dallas Cowboys the improbable 40-39 victory on Sunday, Falcons fans still stinging from Super Bowl LI couldn't have been surprised. Angry? Sure, but not surprised. They are seasoned veterans of disappointment.
