Video: 5 things we learned from the 24-14 loss
Here are the 5 things we learned from the Falcons' 24-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday:
1. Matt Ryan had a shoddy game.
2. Julio Jones returned to action and wanted to get open deep.
3. Defensive tackle Jack Crawford is going to be a force.
4. Could rookie Duke Riley could end up as the starter at weakside linebacker? LaRoy Reynolds left the game with an injury.
5. The Falcons have a compressed work week with the fourth exhibition game set for Thursday against Jacksonville.
