The Atlanta Falcons were out of sync offensively for the duration of Thursday night’s 25-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Without a ground attack to rely on, the team looked to quarterback Marcus Mariota, who couldn’t get anything going until the fourth quarter.
Mariota’s overall numbers could lead you to believe it was one of his better games, but the Falcons QB put the ball into harm’s way multiple times. In his defense, it was a really poor performance from Atlanta’s offensive line. Ultimately, Thursday’s game showed what happens to the Falcons offense when it can’t establish the run.
