The gloom was pervasive, and it wasn’t just the weather. This Atlanta Falcons team had everything to play for—a small chance to climb the ladder in the NFC South, pride, their coaching staff, one another, and even not handing a top ten pick to the Rams in 2026—and they simply weren’t good enough to beat […]
