A win doesn’t get much emptier than Atlanta Falcons prevailing in Las Vegas. All the spectacular special teams moments and the defense producing four sacks or more for the third consecutive game don’t overshadow the total offensive ineptitude.
The team’s inability to make one red zone appearance in a game is preposterous. Converting only four of 13 third downs, with a large majority of them being six yards or more, indicated the inability to pass the ball downfield in high-leverage situations. This didn’t happen against three previous opponents, who all look playoff-bound led by excellent coaching and solidified defense.
