ATLANTA -- This was supposed to be another step toward a miraculous turnaround -- a chance for the Atlanta Falcons to continue silencing critics while helping alter the perception surrounding their embattled head coach.
The Falcons had a golden opportunity on Sunday to build off a two-game winning streak against a weak Bucs defense. Instead, they left the home fans shaking their hands in disgust in a baffling 35-22 loss.
The Falcons fall to 3-8 , and questions about coach Dan Quinn's future will surely crop up again.
