The Falcons pulled him for an extra receiver apparently. And then Matt Ryan followed by trying to force a pass into Brian Finneran on first down. The Cowboys had converging double coverage on the play and Orlando Scandrick came up with an interception that should lead to some kneeling in the last two minutes. Atlanta is out of time outs.

The Falcons tried their "bunch" formation with Tony Gonzalez and a pair of receivers on third down. In the Cowboys' nickel package, linebacker Bobby Carpenter draws the assignment against Gonzalez. He's had success by simply holding him up at the line. Gonzalez couldn't run a route on third down play and instead QB Matt Ryan threw underneath to Eric Weems, who...

The Falcons 80-yard touchdown drive to open the game was slow and methodical.
Quarterback Matt Ryan used surgeon-like precision to convert on four-straight third downs and place the ball exactly where his receiver, Roddy White, could get a hand on it for a score.
On defense, the Falcons started with speed and aggression.
The Cowboys went three-and-out on [...]

Atlanta likes to use bunch formations to throw off defenses.
They can line up a tight end and receiver tight to each side of the formation. They can go with a three-by-one look as well. The design is to create confusion among the defenders.
The Cowboys do some of it as well, but not as much as the Falcons. They will keep Tony Gonzalez off the line as much as they do on the line...

The two late afternoon games I’m being treated to are Jets-Raiders and Falcons-Cowboys. Both games are must see, but for different reasons.

At this point, Tony Gonzalez has four catches for 37 yards, a 9.25 yards-per-reception average. Two of the receptions were on the first two plays from scrimmage. Since then, he's got two catches for 26 yards.
While the Cowboys haven't used the same "bracket" coverage (a defender on each side of Gonzalez) much of the game, they have done a good job of taking him...
