The Atlanta Falcons are on a run of defensive ineptitude that I’d like to say we’ve never seen before. Sadly, though, we have.
The last time the Falcons allowed 36-plus points in three straight weeks, they were in the midst of a seven game losing streak back in 2003, the year that would get Dan Reeves fired. During that run, where they lost 39-26, 36-0, and 45-17 to the Vikings, Rams, and Saints, the Falcons had a far more inept offense but still a brutally bad D.
Falcons have given up 36+ points in three straight games for the fourth time in club history, and the first time since 2003.
