The Atlanta Falcons’ offense completely fell flat against the Dolphins, managing just a field goal for most of the game before finally finding the end zone late. Miscommunication between Kirk Cousins and his receivers, inconsistent blocking up front, and stalled drives highlighted a unit that looked out of sync. As Falcons analyst Dave Archer put it, if there’s one thing this team must address first, it’s the dysfunction on offense.
