Coming into Sunday's game, the Falcons were feeling pretty good about themselves. Being 4-0 and facing a weak team in the Washington Redskins. They quickly realized that they were in for a big game against the Skins. I feel like they came into the game really cocky and not ready to play. Matt Bryant missed two key field goals which could have turned the game around. They struggled on the offensive part of the ball today. There defense gave them a lot of life.
You tend to hear the phrase walk-off in a baseball background. Walk-off is defined as "ending a baseball game immediately by causing the winning run to score for the home team in the bottom of the last inning". In the Falcons case they had a walk-off. Robert Alford was the hero in Sunday's game. In overtime he picked off Kirk Cousins and raced down the field and scored a touchdown to end the game. He ended the game with one play, and he was my hero for the day. Next week the Falcons will take on the division rival New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. We will be in for a show when Matt Ryan takes on Drew Brees.
