This Falcons season has not gone the way anyone could have expected, but after another last-second road win, they find themselves at 4-4 with a victory against the New Orleans Saints. That explanation, of course, glosses over the fact that Atlanta again gave up a huge lead in the fourth quarter, but why spoil a good feeling?
Perhaps more importantly, some of the Falcons’ best players played like it, and this team continues to fight through adversity. For the first time in the last few seasons, Atlanta’s football team is still in the mix this close to Thanksgiving, so maybe we should just be grateful.
