"This game was 6-6 at halftime, and then the 3rd quarter kickoff happened. Is it their inability to adjust? Or did the team gas itself up during halftime for "being in it"? Regardless of the why, this team quit in the second half, and that's a reflection of the internal culture. If all they have to play for is pride, then they left this game with none."
"The defense finally snapped after carrying this team all season, putting forth one of the worst efforts we've seen all year. The positive vibes Kirk Cousins spoke of were nowhere to be seen in this game. This team has folded all year when faced with an ounce of adversity, and today was no different. The Falcons completed the hat trick of embarrassment on special teams today with a blocked field goal, kickoff return touchdown, and out-of-bounds kickoff."
The Atlanta Falcons produced their eighth consecutive losing season after a defeat by the Seattle Seahawks. The team was tied 6-6 at halftime but collapsed in the second half, which is presented as evidence of poor internal culture and inability to adjust. The defense, which had carried the team all season, finally broke down and delivered one of the worst efforts of the year. Special teams compounded failures with a blocked field goal, kickoff return touchdown, and an out-of-bounds kickoff despite offseason emphasis on the unit. Zac Robinson's offensive approach and evaluations are criticized as a disastrous second season, with Raheem Morris also held accountable.
