Our reading
The article mentions that the 49ers have only 3 sacks allowed in 5 games, while the Falcons have 15 sacks but sit 30th in interceptions. It’s a strange balance of pressure and passivity, like a football version of a passive-aggressive roommate who never actually throws anything but always makes you feel guilty.
It’s almost as if the Falcons are trying to be both the victim and the villain, which is a tough role to play when you’re already 2-4 and have a negative turnover margin. It’s like trying to be the underdog but also the one who keeps losing the ball.
And yet, the article still calls it a ‘measuring-stick’ game. Maybe the real measuring stick is how long it takes for the Falcons to stop trying to be both the underdog and the villain.
