Entering Year 2, OC Steve Sarkisian ready to unleash Falcons

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- A play still eats at Steve Sarkisian. It's not the one most people would think.

The Atlanta Falcons' offensive coordinator pointed to last October's 23-17 home defeat against the Buffalo Bills when the Falcons lost receivers Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu midway through the game. The final play featured a fourth-and-1 play-fake to Tevin Coleman from the Bills' 10-yard line where Matt Ryan looked Justin Hardy's way first then went across the field to Taylor Gabriel. Ryan's pass sailed incomplete with 44 seconds left despite the Bills having 10 defenders.
