You’ve the seen the play by now. The Atlanta Falcons are still shaking their heads on how they lost a 20-0 lead to the Dallas Cowboys and did so by not knowing what to do during an onside kick that got the opposing team the ball back to kick the game winner.
Arthur Blank is reacting just about how you would expect him to react after his team’s embarrassing collapse in Week 2.
Speaking Monday on SiriusXM NFL Radio, the Atlanta Falcons owner was critical of Sunday’s showing against the Dallas Cowboys.
“Clearly our defense is not playing at the level we want to see it play at,” he said, per Josh Alper of PFT. “Clearly on the last play of the game yesterday our players, you know, didn’t do what they, you know, either what they were instructed to do and they didn’t understand it.
“It’s clear though they didn’t, in my view, they didn’t clearly understand what the rules were and exactly what they had to do,” Blank continued. “I think that’s demonstrated when you watch the video of it.”
Instead of making an effort to pick up the ball the onside kick passed the 10-yard mark, Falcons players just watched it until it went far enough for a Dallas player to legally recover it.
