The Atlanta Falcons' wide receiver got a short but impactful message from an All-Pro wide receiver on the Patriots

The Atlanta Falcons haven't won the NFC South title since 2016, and they don't appear any closer to capturing it this season. After Sunday's 24-23 loss to the New England Patriots on the road, the Falcons are firmly entrenched in third place in the division standings.

On the defensive side of the ball, Sam Roberts was the highest graded defender for either team, receiving an 89.7. Pass rusher Arnold Ebiketie (78.4), safety Xavier Watts (68.9), safety Jessie Bates (67.7) and nose tackle LaCale London (66.2) round out the top five for Atlanta’s defense.

The Atlanta Falcons nearly overcame a 14-point deficit against the New England Patriots on Sunday, but a missed extra point attempt in the fourth quarter proved costly.

Wide receiver Drake London’s third touchdown catch of the day cut the Patriots’ lead to 24-23 with 4:40 left to play and the Falcons just needed Romo to make an extra point to tie the score. Romo, who spent time with the Patriots during training camp, missed the kick and the Falcons were left with more work to do.
