Third downs loom large in Falcons' losses: 'You've got to get better'

BERLIN — The Atlanta Falcons dropped their fourth game in a row, losing 31-25 in overtime to the Indianapolis Colts at Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany. Every game is its own entity. As Raheem Morris said postgame, it takes something different to win every week.

A consistent theme in these last four losses, however, has been the offense's third-down conversion rate.

This is a look at Atlanta's third-down performance by distance remaining through the team's four-game losing streak.

Overall third-down conversion rate: 8-of-40 (20%)

Third and < 5 yards: 17 chances, 7 converted

Third and 6-10 yards: 18 chances, 0 converted

Third and 11-plus yards: 5 chances, 1 converted

The team went 0-of-8 on third down against the Colts, contributing to the offense not putting points on the board
