This has to have been the day this team finally gelled and played like the team they were destined to be in the offseason. Think about it:
At this point, this team was 8-5. They were coming off a 1-2 record in the past three games at home including close losses to the Rams and Chiefs in which they made tons of mistakes, and a narrow escape win against the Vikings. They had travelled to the Mercedes Dome in Atlanta to face a Falcons team with a losing record and found themselves down 17-0 at halftime on that day.
The question is, who said what in the locker room?? Because when the team came out for the second half, they had a fire in their gut and a determined look in their eyes that they would not lose again. And sure enough, they played lights out the rest of the game and the rest of the season.
