"What a game. It was a game filled to the brim with stupid moments, frankly astonishing flashes of brilliance, and bewildering decision-making. It did the NFC South proud, and for one shining moment in a miserable year, it gave us a reason to be proud of our Falcons. They won the first half narrowly before falling behind by two scores in the second half."
"On review, the Falcons got it around the six yard line. Bijan Robinson got a yard, and then he spun through contact for a first down. Then Kirk Cousins found Kyle Pitts for a first down. Bijan picked up four yards, and then a quick swing pass to Robinson got an easy first down, and a thrown flag was picked up."
Atlanta held a narrow lead at halftime but trailed by two scores in the second half, a deficit they had struggled to overcome all season. With head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot facing criticism and playoff hopes extinguished, the Falcons had only a chance to play spoiler. Atlanta rallied for 15 unanswered points and secured victory with a Zane Gonzalez field goal as time expired. The game featured numerous poor plays, moments of brilliance, and puzzling decisions. Key contributors included Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, Bucky Irving, and Baker Mayfield, whose accuracy issues affected several drives.
