The Falcons had the chance to make a statement, and they made a statement. It just wasn’t the one we expected or wanted.
That means the highlights are limited, but I did my best.
The Miami Dolphins got absolutely nothing going on their first drive. After two attempts to get Devon Achane going, Miami faced third-and-nine and Tua Tagavailoa faced the turf as nickel Dee Alford came on an all-out blitz to force the three-and-out.
Dee Alford has been doing a great job these past few weeks, as rookie Billy Bowman is still out with his hamstring injury. As the Falcons’ defense continues to impress, it seems that if Atlanta wants to get to the playoffs, it will have to be on the back of this defense’s performance.
This was…a performance to forget for the Falcons. But, at least Allgeier was able to find paydirt from six yards out.
I couldn’t find footage on Twitter; I’m guessing the insignificance was enough to have it lost to history.
May we all be so lucky.
