Is Losing the Falcons New Identity? With The Athletic's Tori McElhaney

Aaron is joined by The Athletic's Tori McElhaney to discuss the causes and consequences from the Atlanta Falcons' Week 3 meltdown against the Chicago Bears.

They discuss the impact of injuries, mental toughness and identity on why the Falcons suffered another historic collapse in back-to-back weeks. They also discuss whether Matt Ryan or Dirk Koetter's play-calling is more to blame for the offense's late-game struggles. Tori shares some bright spots from the team's performance before opining on whether Dan Quinn's dismissal is inevitable and if it can be done early enough for the team to salvage their 2020 season.
