They had a bye week to prepare for the Indianapolis Colts — a team starting 40-year-old Matt Hasselbeck — and they, for the second game in a row, lost to a backup quarterback.
Here's the breakdown:
First Quarter
It didn't take long for a turnover.
Paul Worrilow intercepted Matt Hasselbeck on the second play of the game, setting the Falcons offense up at the Colts 34-yard line.
But Atlanta only moved the ball five yards, and Matt Bryant missed the 47-yard field goal.
Of note: Roddy White was targeted on the Falcons' first three plays to start the game.
