The second reason is one of the few weaknesses in Trufant’s game: his hands. And for the first time in a while, that best player is not Eli Manning. He no doubt wants his revenge and we believe he will get it tonight. “The DB was still sitting outside of me and I had to go over the top and make a play”. With the Dirty Birds winning in a ball game in a stadium they’ve usually struggled in, expect the Atlanta Falcons to carry their momentum into Dallas for their Week 3 date with the Cowboys.

Another 10-point lead in the fourth quarter turned into another loss for the Giants on Sunday.
Victor Cruz is injured, of course.
“It’s going to be a very average team”, said Bill Ryan Sr., who has attended games with his son for 21 years.
Even after that, if the defense could have held, the Giants still would have won, said second-year linebacker Devon Kennard. He also had a 67-yard touchdown, tying the game, and giving the Giants’ the boost they needed to change the game (that is, until Eli fumbled the ball later in the game). A season-ticket holder sitting in front of them guessed 6-10.
“The unfortunate thing, the most disappointing thing for me is from that point on, I didn’t see any offense”, coach Tom Coughlin said. He hit two key FGs while the Eagles managed a touchdown to take the lead.
Then, Montalbano looked at the field.
“There really isn’t”, he said when asked for an explanation as to why Beckham did not get much action in the second half.
All three of Tony Romo’s touchdowns went to his tight ends, and he found his running backs 12 times for 131 yards.
“When you think about the big picture, yeah, it’s tough”, he said.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, left, and wide receiver Leonard Hankerson celebrate a touchdown during the second half of an NFL football game against the New York Giants, Sunday, September 20, 2015, in East Rutherford, N.J. Their drive totaled 1 pass interference penalty, and three dropped passes.
Kroy Biermann made two of the biggest plays of the game, kicking off the Falcons’ comeback with a strip sack of Manning on the Atlanta 8-yard line. This loss occurred in a similar fashion to last week’s, as the Giants blew the game late in the 4 quarter, leaving Giants fans walking away in shock again. The block he missed lead to a loss of yards for Rashad Jennings, Donnell allowed outside pressure to run right underneath him as he cluelessly ran towards the line of scrimmage to block, instead of sealing the outside.
It was a nightmare collapse of epic proportions against the rival Dallas Cowboys, a failure of quarterbacking, coaching and refereeing (yes, that too) all rolled into one. The Falcons targeted Maxwell 11 times and completed 10 of them, for 179 yards and a touchdown. “That’s what makes him the special player that he is”. At the two-minute warning, Giants defensive end Robert Ayers waved his arms upward, encouraging the crowd to get loud. Ryan will have an opportunity to connect with Julio Jones all over the field. “Don’t amp up the crowd!”
Though he didn’t have a TD reception in this game, WR Julio Jones was the difference again for the Atlanta Falcons on offense.

Down by four points with 44 seconds remaining, Manning threw an incomplete pass intended for wide receiver Preston Parker on fourth-and-10 from midfield.
