The Falcons put together a pretty lackluster game on the ground against the Chicago Bears, and the reasons for that were myriad.
- The Bears have a good defensive front—one we underrated—and they gameplanned to stop the Falcons effectively;
- Tevin Coleman, in particular, didn’t work very well with the holes he was given, though he was effective as a receiver.
There were also some fair questions about the running plays Steve Sarkisian did call, but wherever you want to point the finger, the Falcons turned in a pretty disappointing game whilst running.
