The Atlanta Falcons have made an ugly habit out of falling behind early in games this season. In fact, the team has trailed at the end of the first half in all but two of their first six games so far.
So, playing from behind is nothing new for the Falcons, but continuous early deficits are a dangerous thing to flirt with in the NFL. Play sloppy football and fall behind enough, and you'll eventually see it come back to haunt you.
That's exactly what happened to the Falcons in their Week 6 loss to the division-rival New Orleans Saints.
