The Atlanta Falcons were hoping to finally get to winning ways at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Sunday and get the team's record back to the .500 mark, but it was not to be as Caleb Williams returned from injury and led the Bears to a 31-23 win. The final score flatters the Falcons, who were down 31-7 late, but rallied for 16 straight points and even had a chance to drive for the tying score. With the loss, the Falcons fall to 2-4, where teams historically have just a 9.3% chance of making the playoffs after such a start. And things don't get any easier for Atlanta, who have the 49ers, Bengals and Chiefs all in the coming weeks of the season. Share, Thumbs Up & Subscribe to 92.9 the Game for New Content Daily!
