Mistakes, penalties plague Falcons, ensuring losing record

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank watched coach Dan Quinn offer explanations about another defeat. The boss then gave Quinn a hug before he walked out the door of a Lambeau Field media room.

Blank still appears to have Quinn’s back as the losses keep piling up for Atlanta.

In less than two years, the Falcons have gone from a trip to the Super Bowl to a losing record that was clinched with a 34-20 defeat on Sunday to the Green Bay Packers. It was Atlanta’s fifth straight defeat.

Matt Ryan threw for 262 yards and three scores, including two to star receiver Julio Jones.
