The Falcons wrapped up their preseason with a 31-13 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Friday night while actually outgaining Dallas through the air and on the ground. A mix of sloppy execution, missed opportunities, and roster-bubble struggles defined the evening. With final cuts looming, the game was the last chance for several players to earn one of 69 roster or practice-squad spots. Some players stepped up while others did not. Feleipe Franks leaped into the end zone for Atlanta's lone touchdown, showcasing athleticism that could earn another practice-squad look. Depth concerns persist along the offensive line and in the secondary as Week 1 approaches.
The Falcons wrapped up their preseason with a 31-13 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Friday night, but the score didn't tell the full story. Atlanta actually outgained Dallas through the air and on the ground, yet a mix of sloppy execution, missed opportunities, and roster-bubble struggles defined the evening. With final cuts looming, this was the last chance for several players to make their case for one of the 69 total roster and practice squad spots.
Feleipe Freaks, rejoiceFeleipe Franks reminded everyone why fans still root for him, leaping into the end zone for Atlanta's lone touchdown of the night. His athleticism remains intriguing, and Friday's performance may have bought him another look on the practice squad. If the Falcons wanted clarity heading into final cuts, this game didn't provide it. A handful of young players made their case, but depth concerns - particularly along the offensive line and in the secondary - remain glaring.
