The Atlanta Falcons had another opportunity to pull off a late-game comeback in Week 3 but fell short in a 20-6 loss to the Detroit Lions. After a Jessie Bates interception, the Falcons offense continued to fizzle by a stout Lions defense. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down how Detroit succeeded in stopping the Falcons run game for the first time in over a year and quarterback Desmond Ridder's inability to step up to fill the void.

Later, he discusses the defense's positive performances and whether the team can rebound in another road matchup across the pond against the Jacksonville Jaguars next week.
