Every week can be an emotional roller coaster for fanbases. An all-around solid victory filled with great performances on both sides of the ball can create a genuine belief that a team is building something special. A one-sided defeat filled with turnovers and lack of execution can lead to major questions being asked of the coaching staff and whether certain key players are good enough.
That said, it’s understandable why nearly 90% of fans are feeling assured that the Falcons are heading in the right direction. Arthur Smith’s side put together their most complete performance of the season against a surging Houston team, in a game where they should have won by more if it wasn’t for multiple unfortunate fumbles.
