Falcons improve to 2-1

[Lites Out]

Falcons come away from New Orleans with a 24-21 win. Coach Gunna was very disappointed in his two new starters on offense. So disappointed that Aaron Rodgers who just arrived to Atlanta could be on his way out the door. Rodgers did throw two TDs but also threw two INTs and threw some bad passes. The Falcons traded for Rice because they knew he would be a reliable back. Rice was not reliable as he put the ball on the ground twice. Both times the Falcons recovered. He did have 8 catches for 98 yards and a scoring on the ground.

Falcons defense continues to play well intercepting Clausen two times on the day. The last interception by Buchannan sealed the game for Atlanta. Coach Gunna is worried about the big plays his defense continues to give up on the ground. Thats something the Falcons will have to fix with the 3-0 49ers coming to town.
