The AJC's D. Orlando Ledbetter and CineSport's Noah Coslov talk about the Falcons issues stopping the run, the shuffling along the offensive line and their streak of 9 straight losses outdoors.
INJURY UPDATE: The Falcons likely will have some injury news today. Four starters, Justin Blalock (lower back), Joe Hawley (right knee), Lamar Holmes (right foot) and William Moore (shoulder), left the game with injuries and did not return. Also, the coordinators are set to speak later today.

“We had a lot of injuries," Falcons coach Mike Smith said after the game. "It was the first time that I’ve been in a game where you had four offensive linemen that could go in and play. That’s not an excuse. Guys are going to get injured. That happens in every football game. That happens throughout the NFL every week. You have to have the next man up mentality. You can not concern yourself with injures."
