The Falcons fell to 5-7 after Sunday’s loss to the Commanders, dropping three of its last four games during what many believed to be its more “winnable” stretch of the schedule. While we are looking for things we learned from the loss, it is tough to evaluate as the Falcons switch between rebuilding to competing for a playoff spot.

Marcus Mariota has eclipsed 200 passing yards once since September, making it hard to evaluate pass catchers or passing schemes. Still, we were able to pull out certain lessons from another odd game.

Arnold Ebiketie is looking fantastic

The Falcons have not successfully developed a pass rusher in ages.
