Relive Atlanta’s 34-10 loss to Miami in Week 8.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Atlanta Falcons<\/a> failed to show up in Week 8, allowing the Miami Dolphins to secure just their second win of the season. It was supposed to be a game for the Falcons to get back on track at home, but instead they were blown out, 34-10<\/a>, by the Dolphins in front of a frustrated Mercedes-Benz Stadium crowd.<\/p>\n Sunday’s loss dropped Atlanta to 3-4 on the season with two tough games coming up against the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts in Weeks 9 and 10. Before we look ahead, though, let’s recap what went down in Week 8.<\/p>\n The Falcons offense got off to a slow start and never found a rhythm. Kirk Cousins filled in for Michael Penix Jr. and was ice cold on third down. Atlanta didn’t convert on a third-down attempt until the third quarter. The team struggled to run the ball, finishing with 45 total yards on the ground.<\/p>\n Bijan Robinson was bottled up for just 25 yards on nine carries. The Dolphins got out to a 17-3 lead in the first half and added 17 more points in the second half. Tua Tagovailoa passed for 205 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions against Atlanta’s top-ranked passing defense.<\/p>\n The Falcons finally scored on a Tyler Allgeier touchdown run in the fourth quarter, but the damage was done long before that. Watch the full-game highlights and top plays from Sunday’s game below.<\/p>\n The Falcons will hit the road in Week 9 to face the red-hot New England Patriots. Atlanta has gone 1-1 against the AFC East thus far this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Relive Atlanta’s 34-10 loss to Miami in Week 8.
