Head Coach Arthur Smith addresses the media and reflects on the Atlanta Falcons loss vs the Detroit Lions and looks ahead to progressing in week 4.

Scott Bair, Tori McElhaney and Terrin Waack break down what went wrong in the Falcons' 20-6 loss to Detroit in Week 3 and why they weren't able to play the complementary football required to beat a team like the Lions. The offense couldn't find rhythm in the passing game and didn't have a run game to fall back on, creating a stagnant attack that struggled despite the score being close until the end. They also take a look at what must improve as the Falcons head into a crucial Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
