What We Learned: Falcons vs. Steelers

Related Topics: Pittsburgh, Falcon, Devonta Freeman

Woof.

Another week of Falcons football and another week of plenty of places to point the finger. The injuries on defense are enough to make you stomach churn. Once again, the depleted defense allowed a number of big plays and gave way to 381 total yards, 9-of-12 on third down, and 34 points (Steelers scored on a defensive fumble recovery).

The offense could not find their footing in this one also which was of course disappointing. Given that fact that the return of running back Devonta Freeman added another playmaker to the equation, many including myself expected to see the Falcons offense produce a few big plays themselves and at the very least, make this game competitive.
