The Atlanta Falcons defense played excellent through three and half quarters until fatigue set in because the offense did absolutely nothing in the entire second half. Do not blame the defense for this loss, this one rest solely on coaching (yet again), and the offense.
The offense looked atrocious for the majority of the second half, wasting a great defensive effort from the other side of the ball.
The defense was on the field entirely too long, in the fourth quarter especially, and it was clear that they were gassed. This team, for whatever reason, just can’t put it together on both sides of the ball, which has been a problem since Super Bowl 51.
