The Atlanta Falcons don’t believe in making things easy, but they do believe putting on one hell of a grand finale. For the second straight week in a row and the third time this year, the Falcons were seemingly left for dead before a jaw-dropping last minute comeback sealed the win. Somehow, this was the craziest one yet.
Why? The Falcons allowed 24 points in the first half, and were down 24-17 at halftime. They were down 27-20 in heading into the fourth quarter, threw an interception on a fourth and long attempt, dealt with multiple missed or blocked Younghoe Koo field goal attempts, and saw penalties, drops, and execution errors crop up far too frequently.
