It seems like every time they wear them, unusual things happen. He forced three missed tackles as the Falcons struggled to bring him down. He desperately wanted back in the game but couldn’t find the explosiveness he’s used to, so the Falcons announced he would not return.

I don’t know whether Atlanta was looking ahead towards their bye week, but they weren’t ready to play on Sunday.
But for football purposes, the Falcons history of losing, and sometimes in ridiculously weird fashion, should not be celebrated.
The Falcons and Bills faced off in a nail-biter on Sunday.
Coming into their Week 4 game against the Falcons, the Bills’ focus was on Julio Jones. And even against the Falcons, he had a scoop-and-score fumble return for a touchdown after Jerry Hughes stripped Ryan of the ball. What it meant was that two players who came into this game accounting for almost 50 percent of the Falcons’ receiving yards were done after a single half. As I said in my preview earlier this week, the Bills running game was a top priority for the defense, and they could not stop it at times. His two interceptions were one of the highlights of another solid defensive effort.

Buffalo’s defense stopped the Falcons at the Bills 10 with less than a minute remaining when Matt Ryan couldn’t complete a fourth-down pass to Taylor Gabriel, and Atlanta became the last NFC team to lose this season. The officials ruled there was no penalty on the play. “It didn’t work out for us, which was disappointing”. The great ones love paying tribute to the great ones, and Jones joined teammate and fellow wideout Mohamed Sanu by wearing gameday cleats paying it forward to “The Nature Boy”. It’s disappointing. We did a lot of things throughout the course of the game that made it hard to overcome. “The turnovers for instance”. In the receiving end, Charles Clay posted 112 yards in five receptions while McCoy added 32 yards in three catches. They’ve played through spurts and needed goal-line stands to beat the Bears and Lions.

Winning the turnover battle by a margin of 3-0 proved crucial in the win as Buffalo scored 13 points off turnovers in the six-point win.
