Watch: Falcons LB Rashaan Evans mic’d up vs. Commanders

Last season, the Atlanta Falcons won a handful of close games on their way to a 7-10 record, and while they haven’t been as lucky in close games this year, you could argue that this is a better team.

The Falcons finished the 2021 season with a point differential of –146, which was among the worst in the NFL. This year, their point differential is just -21 with five games remaining. Thanks to a dominant rushing attack on offense and improved play at the linebacker position, Atlanta has been competitive in almost every game this season.

On Sunday, the Falcons lost to the Commanders in typical heartbreaking fashion. Linebacker Rashaan Evans led the team with 13 total tackles. The 27-year-old former first-round pick was mic’d up in Week 12.

Watch below, as shared by the team’s Twitter account.
