The Falcons have an opponent on the road with a backup quarterback and an early deficit.
And it doesn’t matter all that much.
The Colts have cut the Falcons lead to 21-14, and just forced a Tevin Coleman fumble to close the third quarter.
They cut into the lead with a Matt Hasselbeck touchdown pass to Ahmad Bradshaw, and then immediately got the ball back for their offense at the Falcons’ 21 yard line. But that’s when Hasselbeck was picked off by Falcons safety Ricardo Allen.
That gave the Colts a 3-2 edge in turnovers, and ruined a great chance to get a little closer.
