FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Falcons defense did some good things against the Bears on Sunday, including tallying four sacks – the last one clinching a 23-17 road win with 8 seconds left in regulation.

And a number of Atlanta defenders stood out in the Week 1 win, too, including Brooks Reed. The defensive end played a solid game, racking up five tackles, three for a loss and registering two of those sacks, including the aforementioned one that killed Chicago’s last hope of pulling off the upset.
