In what was easily the weirdest Falcons win in franchise history, Matt Ryan and company escaped Detroit with a win. The Falcons are now the only remaining undefeated NFC team and first in the NFC South after losses by the Bucs and Panthers. Some fans may be fretting the nature of this win, but there are some reasons you shouldn’t freak out.
Falcons offense was amazing and awful
Consider this: Matt Bosher did not punt until late into the fourth quarter. Granted, there are 3 interceptions mixed in with those scoring drives, but the Lions defense - which is arguably a better unit than what the Packers have - did very little to stop the Falcons offense on the day.
