Falcons Suffer Second Consecutive 34-10 Loss to Dolphins

The Atlanta Falcons suffered a significant 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins, marking their second consecutive defeat and dropping their record to 3-4. The Falcons struggled offensively, particularly in their running game, managing only 45 rushing yards against one of the NFL's worst run defenses, while key players Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London were sidelined due to injuries. Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, starting in place of Penix, appeared out of sync with receivers, further hampering the Falcons' offensive efforts. Coach Raheem Morris acknowledged the team's lack of energy and consistency, highlighting the Falcons' inability to establish a running game as a critical issue. Despite statistical advantages on paper, the Falcons failed to capitalize, with turnovers and a lack of offensive identity contributing to the disappointing performance. The Dolphins, despite their poor record entering the game, capitalized on the Falcons' struggles and dominated from start to finish, underscoring Atlanta's ongoing offensive crisis.
