NFL world reacts to Falcons' latest heartbreaking loss Patriots
The Atlanta Falcons have been inconsistent all season long, and that trend continued in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the New England Patriots. The offense went 1-for-10 on third down, the defense didn't show up until it was too late, and the Falcons now sit at 3-5 for the season.
Parker Romo had been the team's kicker since Week 2, but the Falcons lost confidence in him on Sunday after he missed a key kick against the Patriots. During Atlanta's 24-23 loss to New England, Parker Romo missed an extra point that would have tied the game at 24 with just 4:40 left to play in the fourth quarter.
On the defensive side of the ball, Sam Roberts was the highest graded defender for either team, receiving an 89.7. Pass rusher Arnold Ebiketie (78.4), safety Xavier Watts (68.9), safety Jessie Bates (67.7) and nose tackle LaCale London (66.2) round out the top five for Atlanta’s defense.
