The Atlanta Falcons fell to 3-3 on Sunday after losing to the Commanders 24-16 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It was the first home loss of the season for the Falcons, and it’s an outcome that felt avoidable at many points during the afternoon, including very near the end of the game.
Despite holding the Commanders to just two third-down conversions all game, the Falcons surrendered 24 points and couldn’t muster enough consistency on the offensive end to finish off drives with points. Atlanta will be kicking itself for letting this one slip away, possibly for a long time, given that Washington seemed keen to give them as many chances as possible to ultimately win.
