The had high hopes going into the 2019 season, and just five weeks into the year, they’re already on the verge of collapse. If you watched LI, then you already know that no team does collapsing better than the Falcons.In what could end up going down as their most embarra sing lo s of the season, the Falcons got beat in every way that an can get beat during Sunday’s 53-32 lo s to the . As a matter of fact Mats Zuccarello Men Jersey , the lo s was so bad that Falcons owner Arthur Blank was asked after the game if he might consider making a coaching change.”No,” Blank said, via ESPN.com. “This . My hope is they can fix what needs to be fixed and start winning some games.”Well Arthur, the problem with that is that literally everything needs to be fixed, and that became clear after the lo s in Houston. One of the reasons the Falcons hired Dan Quinn is because of his ability to design a strong defense, but he clearly couldn’t come up with anything to stop , who threw for 426 yards and five touchdowns. The Falcons gave up 592 yards of total offense to the Texans, which is the most they’ve given up since 2002 and the third most they’ve given up in franchise history. The 53 points scored by Houston was also a black eye for Atlanta. The Texans’ point total was the most that any team had scored on the Falcons since 2004. Basically, it was a historically bad performance.The most embarra sing part for the Falcons is that they couldn’t get any J.T. Brown Jersey pre sure on Watson, which has been one of the easiest things to accomplish for any NFL defense this season. Going into Week 5, Watson had been sacked 18 times on the year, which is an average of 4.5 times per game and was the third-worst total of any team in the league. So what did the Falcons do against Houston’s offensive line? Absolutely nothing.In a game where Watson threw 33 pa ses, he was sacked times and only hit once, which allowed him to make throws like this. Not one, not two, but three! | Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) After holding the Texans offense to a punt on its first po se sion, the Falcons didn’t force another punt for the rest of the game. The 1-4 Falcons have a lot i sues that need to be fixed, and it’s starting to look like Quinn might not be the guy to fix them, even if Blank thinks that he can. One i sue that’s been plaguing Quinn is his inability to beat AFC teams. Including their lo s to Houston, the Falcons are now 1-12 in their past 13 regular season games against the AFC.The good news for the Falcons is that they get the in Week 6, which is the ideal opponent to face when you’re trying to fix things. However, after that game the Falcons play the , and in consecutive weeks, which means they could be out of the playoff race before Thanksgiving, and if that happens, Blank might actually have to think about making a move.Houston 53-32 over AtlantaD It’s hard to say what the Falcons’ biggest problem was in this game: their defense or the ground game. Although the Falcons got off to a hot start on offense, they couldn’t get anything going on the ground in Houston with just 57 yards on 20 carries (2.85 yards per carry). Although kept the Falcons in this game with three touchdown pa ses and a one-yard run for a score, he also iced the Texans win with a pick-six late in the fourth quarter. The Falcons are now 0-3 on the road this year, which isn’t good news for a team that will be hitting the road against in Week 6 (at Arizona). A For the first time all season, Deshaun Watson didn’t get sacked, and we finally got to see what he’s capable of when Gabriel Dumont Jersey he actually gets some protection. Watson, who was only hit one time in the game, threw for a career-high 426 yards and tied a career-high with five touchdowns. Although the Falcons were able to slow down , they had no answer for , who caught 14 pa ses for 217 yards and three touchdowns. The Texans’ yardage (592) and point totals totals were their second highest in franchise history.New England 33-7 over WashingtonB Bill Belichick would probably give his team an F for the way they started in Washington, but we don’t grade quite as harshly as he does. Although the started slow, they figured things out in the second half. After rushing for just 19 yards in the first half, the Patriots steamrolled the for 111 yards in the second half, led by Sony Michel, who had 91 yards and a touchdown in the win. The second half was also easier for , who was sacked zero times in the game’s final two quarters after a brutal first half where he was taken down four times. With more time to throw, Brady ended up shredding the Redskins for 348 yards and three touchdowns in the win.D- The only reason this isn’t an F is because the Redskins managed to do something that no other team in the NFL has done this year: hold a lead against the Patriots. The Redskins grabbed a 7-0 lead in the first quarter after a 65-yard TD run and manage to hold it for nearly 14 minutes before the Redskins turned back into the Redskins. This game was close for the better part of the three quarters thanks to a Washington defense that mostly shut down Tom Brady in the early part of the game.Arizona 26-23 over CincinnatiA- When the Cardinals selected with the top overall pick in this year’s draft, this is the kind of game they were hoping to see from him. Not only did the rookie throw for 253 yards, but he also rushed for a 93 yards and a touchdown. The biggest run by Murray was a Matt Cullen Men Jersey 24-yarder that came with under a minute to play in regulation. The big run set up the game-winning field goal as time expired. Thanks in large part to Murray, the Cardinals totaled 514 yards in Cincinnati, marking the just the fourth time the Cards have cracked the 400-yard mark since 2000.C If the were only being graded on the first half, they’d get an F- due to disastrous play from a Cincinnati offense that put up just 90 yards. had an especially bad half — 4 of 10 for 22 yards — but then recovered in the second half by going 23 of 28 for 240 yards and two touchdowns. single-handedly kept the Bengals in this game with 10 catches for 123 yards, including a 42-yard TD catch with two minutes left to play that tied things up at 23. The Bengals defense surrendered 514 yards, marking the second time this season that they’ve surrendered 500 or more yards. To put that in perspective, NFL defenses have only given up 10 500-yard games all season, and the Bengals have two of them.Buffalo 14-7 over Tenne seeB wasn’t perfect against the , but he did come through in the clutch for Buffalo. Allen led a 77-yard drive Nate Prosser Kids Jersey in the fourth quarter for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown. On the drive, Allen completed a 46-yard pa s to and a seven-yard TD to . Defensively, defensive tackle had his way with Tenne see, as he racked up three of Buffalo’s five sacks in the game.
