It is very easy to lose track of minor details when looking at the big picture and that is exactly what happened to the Atlanta Falcons in 2019. They were so focused on the big picture and getting back to a Super Bowl that they forgot to do the small things it takes to win in the NFL.
The question becomes “How do you forget?” That answer is one that each individual player and coach has to answer for themselves and more than likely no two answers are going to be identical.
Winning in professional football is hard, very hard.
