As the Atlanta Falcons' freefall continues, head coach Raheem Morris was clear in his assessment of the team's third straight loss.

With a chance to tie the score at 24 against the New England Patriots with 4:40 left in Sunday's game, kicker Parker Romo missed the extra point. The Falcons did get the ball back, but could not get into scoring position, leaving the miss as the difference in the result.
