ARLINGTON, Texas – Apparently, someone forgot to tell the Atlanta Falcons they had a shot to become the NFC South’s best team.
With New Orleans losing in Miami, the Falcons had a chance to come out and make a pretty strong statement against a Dallas team that’s been struggling. The Falcons came out and put a nice early touchdown drive together, but they haven’t done anything since.
Their offense has gone stagnant and their defense just gave up another touchdown to Dallas right before the half. Dallas is leading 17-7.
This one’s far from over, but the Falcons have to play a lot better in the second half if they want a share of first place in the NFC South.
