Week 9 Television Notes

It seems like a month since the Falcons last played in the Georgia Dome. In fact, the span between an Oct. 18 victory over the Chicago Bears and Sunday’s game against the Redskins is exactly 21 days.

Same Ending, Different Path

We’ve been here before. Falcons 1-0 and the toast of the town. A year ago this week Atlanta exploded out of the gate and defeated the Detroit Lions with a heavy dose of the running game.
