The San Francisco 49ers have the best record in the NFC and the Falcons are potentially in-line for a top-5 draft pick. That said, Atlanta has had moments of brilliance this season, so it is possible they pull off the big upset. Did they do it? Let’s see how things played out.
First quarter
Starting on their own 25, the Falcons offense starts the game with an ineffective run up the middle by Devonta Freeman. A quick screen to Kenjon Barner sets up 3rd and 5. On third down, Ryan looks for Julio who slips and falls.
