The news that Deadrin Senat was going to be an inactive against the Saints was a major surprise. Whether the Falcons truly missed him is up for debate, given that Terrell McClain and Jack Crawford each had a sack and the interior played solid ball, but it was still a head-scratcher.
Again, it’s small potatoes for a game the Falcons were expected to lose and went on to (surprise) actually lose, but why would the team sit a solid defensive tackle against a team that runs very well?
