There wasn’t supposed to be anything good to say about the Atlanta Falcons Sunday.
Nothing, nada, zilch. For three quarters, the Falcons looked like the NFL’s stinky armpit, a hapless, poorly coached band of dodo birds getting sucked into a jet plane engine. You were just waiting to see where the feathers fell and if one of those NFL Draft websites had the 2023 virtual mocks ready to fire up.
The Falcons looked horrible. Then, they nearly won on the road against the Super Bowl champs. The 2022 Falcons absolutely make no damn sense, but they might be onto something.
