After falling to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7, the Atlanta Falcons wanted to make a statement against the 1-6 Miami Dolphins in Week 8. They did anything but, losing 34-10 and dropping to 3-4 on the season.

The Falcons were without starting quarterback Michael Penix , which clearly affected their offense. However, the Dolphins hadn't scored 30 points all season, showing it was a rough performance on all fronts. Head coach Raheem Morris didn't mince words after the loss, via team reporter Terrin Waack.

“Tough day obviously at the office,” Morris said. “Sundays, man, you can be humbled. Today was one of those days.”

The Falcons gained just 213 total yards of offense. They had more penalty yards (76) than rushing yards (45) as backup Kirk Cousins threw for 173 scoreless yards.
