5 things we learned from the loss to the Dolphins

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Falcons’ regular-season dress rehearsal game left the indelible impression that they are not ready for the games to start counting.

It was clearly evident from the 17-6 loss to the fair-to-middling Miami Dolphins before 45,974 fans that there is much more work needed in all three phases of the game.

The Falcons dropped to 2-1 on the exhibition season, while the Dolphins improved to 2-1. The Falcons will close out the exhibition season when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Georgia Dome.
