Last week, head coach Dan Quinn said all three phases played a role in Atlanta’s loss to Kansas City. Sunday, on the other hand, was the complete opposite.
In LA, Atlanta’s offense, defense and special teams all shined, and it began with the opening kickoff, when Paul Worrilow recovered a fumble at the Rams’ three-yard line and set up a touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage. That success continued when the defense forced four turnovers and scored on two of them. And the offense, led by Matt Ryan, chipped in four scores of its own, allowing the Falcons to win one of the most lopsided contests of 2016.
