I tweeted out shortly after the scoreboard hit triple zeros that a statement was made by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon. A Falcons team that was 3-4 and suddenly had a slight whiff of the playoff picture made a clear, precise statement on the road about their chances and their resolve.
Now the Atlanta Falcons find themselves in midst of a three game winning streak after going on the road against the gritty Washington Redskins and completely outplay the Redskins to a 38-14 win. A game in which the offense totaled 491 yards, the defense held a top 10 rushing offense to just 79 yards on the ground, and even star receiver Julio Jones found himself in the end zone.
