Raheem Morris comments on Falcons' 27-24 loss to New York Jets

The Atlanta Falcons dropped to 4-8 on the season following Sunday's 27-24 loss to the New York Jets on the road. It was an ugly game that felt all too familiar for Falcons fans. Despite taking a late lead, Atlanta just couldn't hang on and lost another game that was right there for the taking.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris addressed the media after the team's Week 13 loss and was especially irked with Atlanta's poor play on special teams. The Falcons muffed a punt that led to a Jets touchdown in the first half, and later gave up a big return that kept them in the game late.

"Gave ourselves a chance to win," said Morris. "Played well in two phases and didn't play well in the other phase. We've got to tackle. That's two weeks in a row we haven't played well on kicking the ball off."

The Falcons offense didn't have a particularly good day, but they moved the ball well. Bijan Robinson racked up over 190 total yards and a score, while Kirk Cousins finished with 234 yards and one touchdown. Morris said he was happy with the offensive performance.

"Was able to go out and move the ball pretty effectively today," Morris said of his offense. "Kirk made a bunch of plays. Bijan was awesome as usual."

All of that led to yet another loss, though, and it's tough to find a bright spot in Sunday's game. Watch Morris' full post-game press conference below.
