Trailing 28-3 in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Rams, the Atlanta Falcons could have laid down. Instead, the team fought until the end and nearly pulled off a miraculous comeback.
While the end provided some hope as Atlanta possessed the ball in scoring position with a chance to take the lead in the final two minutes, the truth is the team played poorly for three quarters of Sunday’s game. The hope is that the closing moments will inspire confidence going forward, but for now the Falcons are 0-2.
Here are the positives and negatives from Sunday’s 31-27 loss in Los Angeles.
