The Atlanta Falcons played hard on Sunday but again proved they’re not quite ready to compete against playoff-caliber competition. So it’s only fitting that the team’s postseason chances have mostly evaporated.
Three failed fourth-down attempts in the red zone ultimately doomed the Falcons, who are now 6-8 following their 31-13 loss to the 49ers. After the game, head coach Arthur Smith discussed what went wrong after what appeared to be a promising start for Atlanta.
