Rather than quickly re-establishing status as kingpins of the NFC South, the Falcons stumbled to a pair of losses in three September games and actually begin October tied for the bottom rung on the division ladder with the defending cellar-dweller Carolina Panthers. Atlanta opened the schedule with a flaccid 30-12 loss at Chicago and had to rally late against a No. 3 quarterback to secure a narrow win over visiting Philadelphia in Week 2. Instead of building on that prosperity, a visit to Tampa Bay wound up as |
