Mark Bradley: Memo to Falcons: The Rams blew a lead vs. Brady - and won!

Apologies in advance. The most-lamented loss in Atlanta annals if not the history of humankind is about to be invoked. Maybe, probably, it says something about me that, after an astonishing weekend of playoff football – every game decided at 0:00 or later – I flashed back to the night of Feb. 5, 2017, in Houston. (The same city in which the Braves just won a World Series. See? I’m capable of happy flashbacks, too.)

How much time was left after the Patriots’ tying 2-point conversion against the Falcons in the Super Bowl? Fifty-seven seconds. How much time was left Sunday after Tom Brady’s latest team kicked the tying PAT against the Rams on Sunday? Forty-two seconds.

Oh, and just for good measure: How much time was left when Buffalo scored the winning touchdown, which somehow wasn’t the winning touchdown, against Kansas City later Sunday? Thirteen seconds.
