Falcons in comfort zone after consecutive comeback victories

Related Topics: Atlanta Falcons, Raheem Morris

If there is a constant with Raheem Morris' Atlanta Falcons, it is a flair for the dramatic. Through five games of the Morris regime, the Falcons sit 3-2, with each contest decided by eight points or fewer. Over the past two weeks, Atlanta has been able to get the job done late in each game. After beating the New Orleans Saints 26-24 on a last-second Younghoe Koo field goal in Week 4, the Falcons used an improbable comeback on Thursday to top the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 36-30 in overtime. On defense, and trailing by three points with less than two minutes left, the Falcons forced a punt before Kirk Cousins -- who set a single-game franchise with 509 passing yards -- led the offense to the 34-yard line with one second remaining.
