Patterson’s 2 TDs not enough as Falcons fall to Chargers, 20-17

Cordarrelle Patterson scored two TDs in his first game back from IR, but the Falcons lost to the Chargers on a last-second field goal

The Atlanta Falcons got out to a 10-0 lead over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9, but the offense managed to score just seven more points through the final three quarters of Sunday’s 20-17 loss.

Falcons defensive lineman Ta’Quon Graham nearly stole the game in the final seconds when he recovered a fumble by Austin Ekeler and took off the other way. Unfortunately, Graham ended up fumbling the ball back to the Chargers to set up their game-winning field goal as time expired.

Here are five takeaways from the Falcons’ Week 9 loss to the Chargers.
