2014 - Week 3 Wrap Up
The Falcons headed home after a disappointing loss against the Bengals last week to face off against NFC South rival Tampa Bay on Thursday night. The home team put on a show as they were able to best their rivals 31-13 on a game that was nationally televised. Mike Smith stated that he was still not satisfied with the defense's overall performance, which allowed Mike Glennon to throw for over 315 yards, but he was pleased to see that his defense bent but did not break this time around.
