The Falcons got back on track after winning the biggest game in the early part of the season, against the New Orleans Saints, thanks to a last second career long 58-yard field goal from Younghoe Koo.
That victory propeled Atlanta back to .500 at 2-2, which is actually an even better record than it looks. The combined winning percentage of the Falcons’ opponents up this point (the Steelers, Eagles, Chiefs and Saints) is .588 which makes it the hardest schedule anybody has played in the NFL thus far.
That difficult schedule will continue this week against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team which has come firing out of the gates at 3-1.
