Tackling Issues, Penalties Prove Costly: Self-inflicted wounds have done the Falcons in many times during this losing streak, and Sunday was no different. Atlanta committed seven penalties for 58 yards—one of which overturned a Paul Worrilow interception.
The tackling problem was as evident as ever on a 3rd and 19 late in the game when Jameis Winston scrambled for a first down after multiple defenders tracked him down well short of the sticks. The FSU product, who's now 2-0 against the Falcons, somehow managed to shake himself free and keep the drive alive. He then fired a game-winning TD pass to Mike Evans four plays later.
