The Atlanta Falcons failed to repeat their late-game heroics in a 22-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football in Week 3. Host Aaron Freeman shares his biggest takeaways and how things came apart late for the Falcons offense. He discusses Kirk Cousins' game management and how it contributed to their shortcomings along with some questionable play-calling by offensive coordinator Zac Robinson late. Later, he breaks down the pros and cons from the Falcons defense. He discusses how they finished strong with some late-game heroics, but ultimately failed to step up for the first 56 minutes of the game. He breaks down why the Chiefs so thoroughly dominated time of possession in this game, and points out some individual highlights that don't add up to the right sum yet for the defense. Finally, Aaron discusses Kyle Pitts' role within the offense and if the offense can sustain things if the running game takes a step back due to injuries along the offensive line. #atlantafalcons #kansascitychiefs #sundaynightfootball
