The Atlanta Falcons (3-4) were thoroughly outplayed during Sunday’s 35-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals (4-3). Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense put up 537 total yards and the Falcons simply couldn’t keep up.
Not only did Atlanta lose the game, the team lost several key players in the secondary, including cornerback A.J. Terrell (hamstring) and safety Jaylinn Hawkins (concussion).
