Halftime: One Play Is Difference
At halftime with the Jets leading the Falcons by 7-3, the difference is one play: Braylon Edwards‘ 65-yard touchdown reception from Mark Sanchez in the first quarter.
The Falcons have ranked among the bottom of NFL teams in allowing plays of 20 yards or longer and that weakness has hurt them again halfway through this one.
Otherwise, [...]

First Quarter: Trading a Field Goal for a TD
Looks like the Jets are going to live and die by their rookie quarterback as they have all season.
Mark Sanchez, whose former USC teammate, Falcons left tackle Sam Baker, described as having a great passion for the game and someone with extraordinary confidence, entered the game with 11 touchdowns and 17 touchdowns.
Sanchez continued with [...]

First Quarter: Falcons Moving the Ball
On Monday when Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith addressed the media he said as part of his opening statement that he wanted to correct something he said the day before after the team’s 34-7 loss to the Eagles. The Falcons did not get beat in all three phases of the game against the Eagles — offense, defense [...]

Halftime: Comeback Needed, Possibly Without Turner
He finished third in the MVP voting in the NFL last year and now the Falcons are looking at possibly having to make up an 11-point halftime deficit without the services of running back Michael Turner, who left Sunday’s game with a sprained right ankle.
And this on a day when quarterback Matt Ryan is struggling.
Turner [...]

Pregame blog: Busing to Charlotte
When one thinks of sports teams taking a bus to make a road trip, the image evoked is one of an earlier time when air travel was less abundant.
But in some ways, it also can be a more efficient mode of transportation. The Falcons decided that that was the case for this Sunday’s game in [...]
Three and Out: Washington by the Numbers
For all of the criticism that the 2-5 Redskins have taken this season, a look at some statistics might indicate a closer comparison to the Falcons than one would originally think.
First Down
The Redskins rank 28th in scoring at 13.7 points per game, but you’d never guess which team’s quarterback has the higher rating and has [...]

Pregame Blog: Coordinator Fridays
Fridays are the quietest days, media-wise, at the Falcons’ practice facility in Flowery Branch. Usually by then all of your reporting and writing are done for the week and the team’s practice is the shortest.
However, the highlight is that Friday is the one day of the week when Offensive Coordinator Mike Mularkey and Defensive Coordinator [...]

Halftime: Momentum Shifts to Falcons
If the Falcons end up winning this game, the game ball might have to go to Thomas DeCoud. That was his second interception in as many quarters with 10:17 left before halftime. The Falcons are looking good, up 14-7 at half.
Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler was looking for tight end Greg Olsen and way overthrew him. [...]

First Quarter: No First Downs for Birds
They didn’t do it in the first quarter, but one would expect the Falcons will manage at least one first down in the game. Only 10 yards total offense in the period, too.
That may be confounding the pundits a bit. Entering the game, consensus among one network’s pregame show was for the Falcons. In fact, [...]
