Last week was a disappointing way to start the new NFL season. Although the Atlanta Falcons were not the better team against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Falcons still almost had a chance to win the game.
In the NFL, teams cannot afford to lose games. Teams especially cannot afford to lose games to divisional rivals, which is what the Falcons did when they lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
However, despite taking a loss in week one, the Falcons have a chance to win their second game of the season when they play the Oakland Raiders.
