It was a hard-fought game by the Atlanta Falcons, there is absolutely no denying that. They started out extremely rough but ended up battling back to make it a close game, only to make a few mistakes that made the scoreboard look worse than it really was.
Many Atlanta Falcons deserve some credit for how they played and battled during the game.
However, when you lose – especially the way they did – it is often due to a few players not stepping up when you need them to, and that can easily be said for the Atlanta Falcons against the Buccaneers.
