All four of the Falcons' games were decided in the fourth quarter. They let the game against the Saints slip away in the fourth quarter. They were unable to make a fourth-quarter comeback against Rams. They were able execute and then held strong defensively for victory in Seattle.

It was quite shocking that this one went down to the wire.

Both the Browns and Falcons ground games are proud features of both offenses. The game was tied in the fourth quarter.

The Falcons forced a punt. The defense was very strong down the stretch. A few efficient runs and a big play by Olamide Zaccheaus (plus a facemask penality) set up a 45 yard field goal.
