Last week, I started off the article praising the Falcons for consistently beating the teams they were supposed to beat throughout the course of this season — something which is a trademark of good teams in the NFL.
Another feather in the cap of the successful NFL team’s identity is the ability to defend their home field by consistently getting wins in their own stadium. This is where Atlanta’s pursuit of becoming a good team flies completely off the rails. The Falcons once again lost at home this past weekend, bringing their record at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium this season to a putrid 0-5.
