Another fumble on the snap. Jets offense back on the field. Alex Mack and Matt Ryan having issues with the handoff today. #ATLvsNYJ

My goodness. Second fumble for the Falcons on the snap. Matt Ryan issues continue. Rain probably a factor but gotta get it together.

A deep shot to Julio Jones is the perfect way to flip the field. Exactly what the #Falcons needed right now.

ATL sack leads to the NYJ missed FG! 💯 pic.twitter.com/CwbC7b6tDH
— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) October 29, 2017
This could be a huge change of momentum. Grady Jarrett’s sack forces Jets to kick a FG, they miss. Atlanta’s offense takes over
— Kelsey Conway (@FalconsKelsey) October 29, 2017
Grady Jarrett is making these interior lineman look silly. #ATLvsNYJ

Falcons defense is 10x better against the run today.
