Time for Falcons to rediscover their high-scoring identity

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Matt Ryan didn’t hesitate when asked what the identity of the Atlanta Falcons' offense should be at this juncture.

"I want to score points," Ryan said. "Whatever we’ve got to do to score points -- run the football, throw the football -- find ways to get it done. But it’s about being a point-scoring machine, and we have not been that."

The lack of scoring obviously has been a major contributor in the Falcons' 1-3 start. They’ve averaged just 17.5 points per game, which ranks in the bottom seven in the league.
