Another loss, but they didn’t quit
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Glendale, Ariz. — Another game, another loss. This time the Falcons lost in overtime, dropping a 30-27 decision to Arizona.
The Falcons dropped to 3-12 on the season, the mercifully ends next week against Seattle at the Georgia Dome. It was the sixth straight loss for the Falcons, who haven’t won since defeating Carolina on Nov. 11.
How ironic that the season ends against the Seahawks, who feature former coach Jim Mora as assistant head coach and former defensive end Patrick Kerney, who has 13.5 sacks this season?
You can say this about the Falcons — they didn’t quit. The scored 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, but allowed a field goal as time expired to force overtime. They lost when Neil Rackers kicked a 31-yard field goal to win it. The Cardinals won the toss and marched down the field for the game winner.
Another defeat in an already dreadful season.
