Following Sunday’s 21-18 loss to the New Orleans Saints, the Atlanta Falcons have now been swept by their most-hated NFC South rival three times in the last five years.

Ultimately, the Falcons made too many critical mistakes to pull off the comeback. Let’s see how fans reacted to Sunday’s loss on Twitter.
