It’s really odd to say this, but the defense is playing a lot better than the offense in 2015. It used to be the exact opposite, but not anymore. Dan Quinn has definitely has his fingerprints all over this Falcons’ defense and is turning them into a pretty solid unit when they are all healthy.

The defense gave up just 276 yards, 17 points and forced three turnovers on the day. With those defensive numbers you should win every single game without question. However, the Falcons found a way not to win. Shocker. Keep doing your thing defense, it’s not your fault.
