It’s never easy or fun watching your team get smacked in front of the entire country on national television, but that’s what the Falcons put the fanbase through on Thursday night against the New England Patriots.

Nobody on the offensive side of the ball, both on the field or on the sidelines, deserves much praise following this game.
