Morris: Timeout could've helped Falcons' fourth-quarter fate

LANDOVER, Md. -- Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris said calling a timeout on a key first-down catch late in the fourth quarter of a tie game Sunday night "could have" been a better decision than running a hurry-up play.

The Falcons ended up having to settle for a 56-yard field goal attempt from Riley Patterson, who is only in his second week with the team. Patterson's kick with 2 seconds left came up short, the game went to overtime and the Commanders won, 30-24, on a walkoff Jayden Daniels 2-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz.
