Good teams find a way to win. That’s all there is too it. The Atlanta Falcons made mistake after mistake, but good defense kept them in the game. When it mattered most, the Falcons executed and pulled of an emphatic victory to go to 5-0 for the second time in four years.

It wasn’t pretty, but the team did just enough to win. Matt Ryan had a bad game, but led the Falcons on an 80-yard drive with 2:38 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter down four points to put his team in the lead.

The refs did everything in their power to give the game to the Redskins, but it was the Redskins who decided they didn’t want it. Alford’s two interception’s helped mask his bogus pass interference call in the second half and sealed the deal with his pick six.

What a time to be alive. Rise up!
