We all saw it coming, didn’t we? When the Philadelphia Eagles capped off a long, frustrating scoring drive and then punched in a two point conversion to take a three point lead, there was a sense that the same old Atlanta Falcons anti-magic was at work. Despite fighting like hell and showing impressive resolve and hanging in, the Falcons were going to need a miracle to win. After a drive where mishaps featured and the team couldn’t convert a fourth down, the Eagles had the ball and a chance to salt it away. It felt, as it so often has in recent years, like it was over.
