No team in the NFL has had a more brutal start to the 2020 NFL season than the Atlanta Falcons.
After getting taken down 38-25 by Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, Atlanta came back and had a strong Dallas Cowboys team on the ropes in Week 2, leading 39-24 in the middle of the fourth quarter. After a Dallas scoring drive and a failed 2-point conversion, Atlanta punted the ball away, up by 9, with less than 3 minutes to play.
The Cowboys marched down the field, scored and lined up ready to attempt an onside kick — which has a success rate of roughly 6% under the new rules — with 1:49 remaining on the clock.
