The Falcons followed their first win of the season with yet another defeat that was a statistical improbability (they had a 98% chance of winning at one point late in the fourth quarter and lost — this is the third time they’ve accomplished such a feat this season). This team’s reputation as the biggest chokers in the NFL is well earned, and it seems like they just enhance it with each passing week.
Next, the Falcons take center stage in primetime on Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina came to Atlanta and won the first matchup between these teams, in Week 5.
