| Sunday, November 22, 2009 | | Four of Atlanta's past six games have come against teams coming off bye weeks. "We are looking toward a three-game home stand," said Falcons coach Mike Smith. "I know that our guys are a little bit road-weary at this time." | | Atlanta failed to sack QB Eli Manning after the first quarter. “The defensive line has got to do a better job of getting (the quarterback) down,” said Falcons DE John Abraham. “The pressure was good, but we wasn’t (sic) getting him down.” | | Once again the Falcons were done in by a poor first-quarter performance. "We talk to our players all the time about wanting to start fast," said coach Mike Smith. | | QB Matt Ryan was asked if he regrets calling "tails" before the overtime coin toss. "I felt like I had a 50-50 shot," he said. Ryan did not see nor seem to care what side the coin landed on when the referee accidentally dropped it moments before the toss. | | The Falcons last overtime game was a 13-10 win over Tampa Bay in Week 15 of the 2008 season. | | The touchdown reception was WR Eric Weems' second of his two-year career. The former Bethune-Cookman receiver had only three career receptions coming into today and last scored in Week 7 against Dallas. | | Once again Falcons QB Matt Ryan picked on Giants S Aaron Ross on third down by completing a pass to TE Tony Gonzalez. The play was one yard short of a first down, but the Falcons followed by successfully making their third straight fourth-down conversion. | | After Falcons RB Jason Snelling rushed for a first down, Giants OLB Michael Boley and Falcons G Harvey Dahl got into a shoving match on the ground. The refs were quick to break up the skirmish. | | The Falcons are two for two on fourth down conversions today. | | The Falcons have converted one of six third downs today. | | Falcons K Jason Elam has made nine of 15 field goals this season. He has missed three field goals of less than 40 yards. | | The Falcons have used RB Jason Snelling very effectively as a blocker. One more than one occasion, he has taken Giants DE Osi Umemyiora out of the play with a low block. Snelling has also rushed for 28 yards and a TD on six carries. | | The Falcons have scored only 31 first-quarter points this season. | | Earlier this week, Giants defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan mentioned Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez as the team's premiere third down threat. On Gonzalez's first down reception on 3rd and 3, Falcons QB Matt Ryan targeted Giants S/CB Aaron Ross, who was playing very far off the line. | | Jason Snelling started today in place of injured RBs Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood. | | The Falcons have scored only six points on two field goals in their 10 opening drives this season. | | QB John Parker Wilson is listed as the Falcons' third quarterback today. | | Falcons inactives: RB Jerious Norwood, RB Michael Turner, LB Spencer Adkins, OT Garrett Reynolds, G Quinn Ojinnaka, WR Brian Finneran and DT Trey Lewis. |
