It wouldn't be a true Patriots season if it went the entire year without a controversy, and that is exactly what the Falcons were hoping to accomplish after they suffered a brutal loss in Foxboro this past Sunday.
Maybe it was sour grapes, since they mainly lost after a missed extra point by Parker Romo, who they released on Tuesday morning. Or perhaps they legitimately believe the allegations they have made about the Patriots are true. But it didn't take long for their head coach to walk it back, despite the damage that had already been done.
