A lot had to go right for the Falcons to be 4-0. A lot went wrong Sunday: Matt Ryan made three turnovers; Matt Bryant doinked two field goals off the uprights (first right, then left); an apparent go-ahead touchdown in the final minute of regulation was voided by replay; Washington’s 52-yard field goal to tie sailed true as time expired, and then – pause for breath – the Falcons lost the coin toss in overtime.
And they’re 5-0.
This being the NFL of Any Given Sunday, teams will have given Sundays like this.
