| Matt Ryan is struggling. Michael Turner is hurting. Jason Elam can't seem to make a field goal. Yep, the Falcons definitely have plenty of things to worry about as they head into a decisive stretch of the season. Atlanta (5-4) was down in the dumps Monday after a sloppy 28-19 loss at Carolina, knowing it had wasted an excellent chance to gain an upper hand in the NFC wild-card race. |
