The Atlanta Falcons three-game win streak has come to an end. The offense sputters despite a Bijan Robinson clinic, and the defense gets outcoached and outclassed.
Here’s this week’s snap reaction.
Bend and break defense
In this week’s question of the week article, I mentioned how Atlanta’s designation as a bend don’t break defense was only a half-truth. Coming into the game, the team allowed opposing offenses to score at the second-highest rate (50%) while being average in points per page (22.5). The defense has been teetering on the edge, and today, they couldn’t overcome their deficiencies, being responsible for 27 points.
