Their most recent loss?
A 45-28 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa Florida last Sunday!
In their 45-28 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on first down, Foye Oluokun stopped Leonard Fournette after a two-yard gain. As he was bringing him down, Oluokun punched the ball out. Tampa Bay recovered as it rolled out of bounds, but it unnerved an offense that hadn't showed many signs of slowly down at that point.
On second down, Tom Brady took a deep shot. The only thing standing in the way of a 30 to 40-yard reception was AJ Terrell. Terrell lifted off, slicing an arm through the air to break up the pass. It was a play that had its consequences, though, as Terrell left the game immediately after with a concussion. But he made the play, and it was one that put the Bucs behind the eight ball as they faced a third and long situation.
Then came Marlon Davidson shooting through Brady's protection. The defensive lineman tripped up Brady as Grady Jarrett followed through by getting a hand on the quarterback's already stumbling legs. It was a sack that gave the ball back to the Falcons with great field position and a lot of time on the clock in the third quarter.
It was a defensive stand that may be overlooked in the grand scheme of this game, but it's one that depicts just what this defense is capable of.
Atlanta’s defense gave the ball back to the offense at the Buccaneers 46 yard line, and the unit started moving downfield. The Falcons converted on a much-needed third down after Matt Ryan hit Calvin Ridley for a 22-yard gain. Converting on third downs in the second half was something Ryan said changed the pace for Atlanta in the second half.
