This Falcons team fights. They’ve lost three games to this point, but two featured fourth quarter comebacks that fell just short and all three were narrow one-score defeats. In fact, all five of Atlanta’s games have been one-score affairs, making this among the most exciting teams in the league to tune in to week in and week out.
The defeat against Tampa Bay was brutal. Down six with rampant momentum on their side behind 15 straight points, Atlanta was not allowed an opportunity to make a famous comeback thanks to the worst roughing the passer penalty I’ve ever seen, on a third down play.
