In the 299th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast, host D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution discusses the Falcons’ 25-0 loss to the New England Patriots.

We hear from coach Arthur Smith, quarterback Matt Ryan, left tackle Jake Matthews, running back Qadree Ollison and cornerback A.J. Terrell in this episode.
