There weren’t a lot of positives to take away from the Falcons’ disastrous 28-12 defeat at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings. Atlanta’s new look offensive line was porous and lost rookie RG Chris Lindstrom to a possibly significant foot injury. Matt Ryan threw one very bad interception and TE Luke Stocker quit on a route which led to another. The rushing attack was stuck in the mud all day.
On defense, Quinn’s unit looked hopelessly lost defending the outside zone. By the time it was all said and done, the Falcons had committed a whopping four turnovers, including a blocked punt, 2 INTs, and a fumble.
