The Falcons once again failed to get over the .500 mark, losing 20-17 to the Chargers in Week 9 and dropping to 4-5 on the season. Atlanta rushed for 201 yards but the team’s lack of success in the passing game — and two critical fumbles — were the difference on Sunday.
Here’s how Falcons fans reacted to the team’s 20-17 loss on Twitter.
The Chargers just Chargered there and the Falcons responded by Falconing

The Falcons won the first and third quarters 17-0
The Chargers won the second and fourth quarters 20-0
Falcons still haven’t been above .500 since 2017.— Justin Felder (@Justin_FOX5) November 6, 2022

It's so fitting for this to happen in

It's Falcons vs. Chargers, of course it's gotta get weird at the end.

We deserved to lose last week and got away with it. Don’t worry though, the, #Falcons came back to claim what was there this week.

I’ve been saying it since Week 2.
Mariota’s limitations as a passer put a hard ceiling on this offense.

Up there with the saints game for most frustrating of the season. Graham, Mariota and London let the team down.
