The Atlanta Falcons had a nice run going in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but a three-point deficit quickly ballooned into a 23-point loss after numerous miscues. Among those costly plays were two shanked punts by Cameron Nizialek.
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Field Yates reported that the team will sign former Kansas City Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt.
