The Falcons tried to get the Raiders to jump on a fourth down attempt by faking as if they were attempting a kick. Las Vegas didn’t take the bait though, and Atlanta opted to punt the ball instead.
This decision pinned the Raiders deep into their territory and allowed the Falcons defense to converge and force a safety in the second quarter of Monday night’s game.
