The Falcons were without Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London on offense and Divine Diablo on defense, but considering the quality of the overall performance in their ugly loss to the Dolphins, it doesn't feel like those players would have made the difference. The Falcons were pushed around on the line and the Dolphins attacked what has become a very clear weakness, the run defense. It would have been nice to have a full roster, but the team mindset was what truly let them down on Sunday.
