For the first time in six seasons the Falcons are now 0-2. The last time Atlanta lost after leading a game by at least 20 points was that game in 2016. Most of us ATL folks would like to forget, when former New England quarterback Tom “Terrific” Brady and Patriots  erased a 25-point deficit to win 34–28 in overtime in Super Bowl LI.

My positive of Sunday’s defeat:  After the game, Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught up with Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott and commended him on speaking about his mental health and depression after dealing with his brother, Jace death due to suicide.
