The Falcons are 3-0 and getting better as they go. Their second half against Dallas was among the most impressive road performances I’ve witnessed from any Falcons team, my benchmark being the 41-10 victory at New England on Nov. 8, 1998. That season would end in Super Bowl XXXIII.
Understand: I’m not yet saying these Falcons, who’ve trailed in the fourth quarter of every game, are a Super Bowl team. What I am saying: The prospects for this becoming a really big season have grown – not incrementally but exponentially – with every week.
