But holy hell...that offensive line was awful. And the defensive line wasn't much better.

Atlanta had huge long drives. 17 plays, 13 plays. Mean while, we just kept our kicker warmed up.

Those huge long drives were penalty aided. They were stopped repeatedly by the defense, but given reprieves on automatic first down defensive hands to the face on four occasions. Prior to this year that may have been a call that would be seen once a year at most.
