Atlanta lost another game at the wire to start the 2022 season, but this time it was the Falcons mounting a furious fourth-quarter comeback. The team fell just short of pulling off their own 28-3 turnaround, however, falling to the Los Angeles Rams 31-27.
The Falcons have lost their first two games by an aggregate score of 58-53. That’s actually not bad, considering that both teams are widely considered playoff contenders and one is the reigning Super Bowl champion. It’s just that both losses could have been wins, so that bit of consolation doesn’t feel so good. It’s still a long season, and one that should be viewed through the lens of improvement, anyway.
