Facing a short-handed San Francisco 49ers squad, the Falcons controlled large stretches of the first half. Unfortunately, they saw their composure, execution, and discipline unravel as the game wore on. The result was a 20-10 defeat that looked closer on the scoreboard than it ever felt on the field.

Despite accumulating nearly 300 total yards, Atlanta scored just 10 points against a San Francisco defense playing its first game without four-time All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner.

The Falcons are coming off a 24-14 win over the Buffalo Bills last week.
