INDIANAPOLIS -- The recipe for the Atlanta Falcons moving forward has to involve avoiding slow starts -- on both sides of the football.
The Falcons didn’t exactly learn their lesson from a season-opening loss to the Minnesota Vikings, where they fell behind 21-0 and lost 28-12. On the road Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, they fell behind 20-3 and couldn’t come back, losing 27-24.
Matt Ryan vowed to put his five interceptions leading into the game behind him, but he threw yet another costly pick in the second quarter.
