Falcons' second-half collapse in Washington likely to haunt them for a long time
Briefly

Despite holding a 17-7 halftime lead, the Atlanta Falcons suffered a disappointing overtime loss to Washington, ultimately falling out of playoff contention.
Falcons coach Raheem Morris emphasized the importance of focusing on their own game against Carolina, stating, 'We have to control what the controllables are.'
In a critical moment, Morris opted for an extra point over a two-point conversion, a decision that he later reflected on as one that could have been better.
Timing became an issue late in the game as 17 seconds ran off the clock unnecessarily, a misstep that Morris admitted could have been managed better.
